Potential applications of artificial intelligence in architectural education and practice

Cem Sinan Kayatekin

I was born in Ankara, Turkey, but I spent most of my life in the United States. Coming from a family of doctors, it seemed a natural path to pursue a pre-med track in university. It was however, not for me. Two years in, after some self-reflection, I entered architecture school. It was there that I experienced true intellectual passion for the first time in my life. Nowadays, rather than focus on a particularly grand end goal, I find that the words of Zefram Cochrane ring more and more true each day: “Don’t try to be a great man. Just be a man—and let history make its own judgements.”
