S2E1 - Building smart cities: when AI redesigns architecture
In this first episode of Season 2 of IA du neuf, we explore how artificial intelligence is changing the way we design our homes and evaluate our neighborhoods. Did you know that in Montreal, living near the metro increases the value of your property, but in Dallas, it's exactly the opposite? Or that AI has to "relearn" architecture differently in Japan, where residents walk through their bedrooms to access other rooms, a practice unthinkable in the West? In the studio, we welcome Stéphane Turbide from Maket, which allows anyone to design their ideal home from their couch while automatically complying with zoning regulations, and Vincent-Charles Hodder from Local Logic, who reveals why AI perceives the noise of a highway as more harmful than that of children playing in a park, even at the same volume. Discover how "natural paths" in parks inspire digital twins of entire cities, and why architecture should become a science rather than an art. A fascinating conversation that transforms your understanding of urban space.
