Section 1
The big idea
Architects can ask AI to try 50 versions of a school layout. Then they pick the one that feels right and works for the kids who will use it.
Some examples
- AI shows what a building looks like from every angle in seconds
- AI checks if the windows will let in enough sunlight
- AI suggests where to put bathrooms so they are not too far from anywhere
- AI cannot decide what feels welcoming — humans do that
Try it!
What is one feature you would want in a school designed with AI's help?
