Structures created by introducing artificial intelligence into the design process could be called "hybrid", since they do not relieve the architect of the problem of responsibility for choosing a design technology. It is unlikely that they will had special stylistic features, which as we know usually reflect regional-historical stages in the cultural activity of territorial network.

It is possible, but the results must be verified

• Data-Driven Inspiration: AI analysis of historical and cultural architectural data can inspire new design elements and spatial configurations, potentially leading to the emergence of fresh architectural styles rooted in both tradition and innovation.
• Parametric Design Possibilities: AI-powered parametric design tools allow architects to explore complex geometries and structures that were previously impractical, potentially giving rise to new architectural styles characterized by intricate forms and dynamic aesthetics.
• Generative Design Evolution: AI's ability to generate and evolve design solutions based on specified criteria opens up possibilities for creating entirely novel architectural styles that adapt to diverse contexts and user needs, pushing the boundaries of traditional design paradigms.

Dear Cathy Liu.The architectural or geometric style of a cultural object (as defined by some philosophical schools) is defined as a socio-psychological characteristic of the result of behavior, communication and activity of a particular socio-historical community. The collected material from the historical development of construction demonstrates that technology does not have a significant impact on the style of buildings. However, changes in the spatial consciousness of society have a decisive influence. The change in style of Egyptian, Antic, Christian, and Capitalist civilization occurred after a change in ideological ideas, despite the technological process that accompanied them and the formal continuity of production ways. The origin of architectural ideas should be sought in the existence of social communities, as carriers of certain ideas, which, having come to power, determine the direction of creative activity.

For the time being we have received two quite opposite answers. One of Cathy Liu and one of Volodymyr Durmanov

In your opinion, is there any formal requirements to be met for recognizing a new style in architecture? In other words, who decides that a new style in architecture has been established?

I appreciate your input.

Best,

Kamil.

Dear Kamil, you asked a very important question, the solution of which may serve to rid modern architecture of compilation and imitation.

I am of the view that the human ability to borrow forms of behavior, ways of expressing feelings and emotions, as well as techniques for making objects contributes to the emergence of such concepts as style, fashion, or manner. In the process of making their artifacts, people tend (consciously or unconsciously) to submit to the specific circumstances of their environment, therefore each style has a parent, place and date of birth.

A Installation Style (one of the most ancient and diverse forms of the construction) during the structuration of society, was gradually replaced by A Stage Style - the purpose of which was the decorative design of the ideological processes of power.

From the Ancient Styles of the first civilizations to the style of French Directories, the development of architecture took place in the cultural space mainly created by The Stage Style. Only after the First World War, the Installation Style was activated again, which finds its expression in the Modernism, as the most complete reflection of the liberalization of society. However, the totalitarianism of modernism had a bad impact on regional architecture, which led to the revival of The Stage Style represented by Postmodernism.

Today, the architect has the right to choose the ideological direction of his work within the framework of the cultural space, the boundaries of which are limited by the dichotomy of the right-left political paradigm, global - regional ideology, democratic or totalitarian structure of communities. These processes will not change the hybrid essence of modern architecture generated by the information revolution.

Creative individualism, born of a mixture of market and consciously regulated economics, will continue to compete with digital design, which in the near future will replace the normative-standardized way of the modern building production. Of course, creative individuals will soon appear who will create new formal trends with special architectural manners, but their activities are unlikely to change the stylistic development of contemporary architecture, which originated in the last century.

I don’t think that this will lead to the destruction of the architect’s profession, but the idea that style is born by inspiration still remains popular in architectural education. This point of view does not contradict statements of Cathy Liu, that she might have meant the manner of architecture but not the style. This is a problem of terminology and not the essence of the question.

Who decides that a new style in architecture has been established?

If we try to present it briefly and with certain simplifications, then, in my opinion, the building culture of a socio-territorial community, based on the installation style of production, ensuring global dominance, is the basis for the transformation of architectural style.

In the era of the stage movements of Postmodernism, it became fashionable to create spaces reminiscent of modernist scenery using abstract forms (Past Modern according to Charles Alexander Jencks); or to use spatial images from the cultures of other communities (historicism, regionalism, metaphysics, vernacula, etc.). Architects' spatial choices in the face of a wide variety of different aesthetic trends have become random, reinforcing the idea that conscious choice can be eliminated from the design process. Birds build nests without projects. This idea has always been there. Egyptian, Greek, Roman and Gothic continued to exist for one to several millennia. The hybrid style of postmodern architecture, generated by the contemporary global corporations, will continue to exist in the future, until it is replaced by a new, more sustainable and more sophisticated production of new local culture.

Dear Volodymyr Durmanov

Thank you for your will to share with us your extended knowledge.

You are saying:

Creative individualism, born of a mixture of market and consciously regulated economics, will continue to compete with digital design, which in the near future will replace the normative-standardized wayof the modern building production. Of course, creative individuals will soon appear who will create new formal trends with special architectural manners, but their activities are unlikely to change the stylistic development of contemporary architecture, which originated in the last century.

That would mean, if I understood correctly, that architecture is a never ending art. Even if digital design dominates for a while, new architects will appear who will begin to break the accepted standards with their creativity and set new trends.

I apology for my simplified vocabulary but I am not an expert on that matter.

Dear Kamil Strzepek

You understand the text absolutely correctly. Architecture was born when a person realized by what means he could protect himself and his loved ones in the future. Therefore, the building is not only an object of art, but also an object of capitalization of consumer value. Money invested in a building is one of the forms of (physical, biological, psychological, social, cultural and finally economic) protection. The better a structure is designed, the higher its quality. Artificial intelligence is an improvement of one of the parts of the design process associated with the processing of collective information for the purpose of its virtual presentation. In order to compete with a person, it must collect all verbal and non-verbal information, enshrined in the collective consciousness of a separate local community. However, he is not allowed to penetrate into the thoughts and feelings of people hidden in their individual consciousness. To do this, he must learn to feel bitterness at the poorly designed environment in which he was forced to exist. Therefore, the creators of artificial intelligence understand its limited capabilities. I don't think the death threat to architecture comes from artificial intelligence. Typically, when people or authorities stop understanding the consequences of their actions, architects become unnecessary. It’s good that these periods are relatively short.

Dear Volodymyr Durmanov

Your words: “Architecture was born when a person realized by what means he could protect himself and his loved ones in the future”.

I think the best example of your words is the transition from the style of ancient Greece to the style of ancient Rome. The Romans followed the example of the Greeks but added "walls" for protective purposes.

It is visible when we compare Acropolis in Athens to Pantheon in Rome.

To me it comes out from your post that AI is rather a supportive tool for decision makers (for architects).

Dear Kamil Strzępek,

The concept of architectural style is a product of people’s mental activity, trying to explain the phenomenon of continuity, variability and uniqueness of the visual characteristics of structures created by a certain social group. This concept develops following the development of architecture itself. Today it is known that style reflects the process of cultural life of a separate community, which is experiencing a cycle of prosperity, stability and dying. We may be in the early stages of the fading of the modernist understanding of The Stage Style of modern international architecture, expressed by the phenomenon designated as postmodernism. Only after the development of technology leads a certain local community to a new style of life, allowing for cultural dominance, will a new style appear.

Style is not invented, but improved and distributed.

The Roman authorities found a way to stylistically harmonize the geometric parameters of baths, forums, and basilicas due to the cultural achievements of the conquered peoples (see the treatise of Vitruvius). But the conquered peoples were also subject to this influence (an example of the reconstruction of the Holy Mount in Israel during the Roman occupation). As is known, such a forced introduction of a different way of life led to the decline of Rome. It’s easy to predict what the forced introduction of II into the design process will lead to.
