How AI is advancing architecture | Eda Erol | TEDxBoston

In this thought-provoking TED Talk, Eda Erol delves into the frustrations and complexities of architectural design, shedding light on the tedious processes involved in creating living spaces. She highlights the importance of reshaping our approach to architecture by harnessing the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Unlike conventional perceptions that limit AI to image rendering, Eda displays a possibility where AI becomes an integral part of the design process, enabling architects to generate modifiable 3D models from text inputs. Demonstrates how AI can revolutionize the design timeline, significantly reducing it from months to mere days, while also addressing critical issues such as carbon emissions and disaster resilience. Emphasizing the urgent need for such technology, urges us to embrace this transformative potential of AI in architecture, envisioning a future that is resilient, sustainable, and truly inspiring.

Her journey began in architecture firms and Fortune 500 tech companies, where she discerned the pitfalls of existing AECO software. Post-corporate ventures, Eda dedicated herself to R&D patent processes. Driven by a commitment to overcoming challenges, she established Poliark, a manifestation of her vision to tackle industry issues using the power of AI. At Poliark, she is focused on building AI capable of modeling intricate 3D structures through simple text input from architects and engineers. This revolutionary technology instantly calculates carbon emissions, providing real-time insights into the environmental impact of construction projects. Her narrative unfolds as a tale of blending architectural wisdom with cutting-edge technology, positioning her as a catalyst for transformative solutions within the AECO realm. Poliark's transformative approach is not just about creating intelligent software but about fostering a greener, more sustainable future for the architecture and construction industries.
