Architecture Aesthetics Evaluation Methodologies of Humans and Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Architecture is a discipline that contributes to science when it is related to the construction of buildings and art when it is related to the pleasure of the viewer and the user of these buildings. Aesthetics is the discipline that studies the pleasure of humans and how people approach the world through their senses. Human-computer interaction advances every day in our life. This paper discusses concepts behind architecture aesthetic evaluation methodologies by humans and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The first part of this paper identifies some philosophers with their theories about aesthetics that helps in understanding how people were concerned about art and how they relate it to their life. Also, the discussion about neuro-aesthetics helps in studying the biological basis of aesthetic experience. The second part discusses recent applications of AI in evaluating aesthetics and how people interact with AI and how to build a reliable AI system that people will enjoy interacting with it. The third part distinguishes AI methods that are used in architecture that help in storing and analyzing huge amounts of data that the human brain can`t interpret. Finally, the paper concludes with the main guidelines for establishing an integrated system for architectural aesthetics evaluation.
