Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the architecture and design disciplines, transforming how we design, think, and teach. This volume explores how AI is becoming not just a powerful digital tool but an active partner in the creation of more sustainable, adaptive, and forward-thinking design processes.
Focusing on the intersection of design, sustainability, and emerging technologies, this book investigates how AI contributes to the resilience of the architectural profession, supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and drives educational innovation aligned with the UNESCO 2019 Beijing Consensus.
Across the book chapters, leading researchers explore new workflows where AI enhances design development, enables complex analysis, and redefines creative roles. The book also examines hybrid analogue–digital practices and the adoption of computational concepts in design, revealing how architects are adapting to a deeply digitised future.
Organised around three central themes—AI for sustainable design, the evolving role of the architect, and innovation in education—this volume is essential reading for designers, educators, and researchers navigating the shifting landscape of architecture in the age of intelligent systems.
Part of Springer's Urban Sustainability series, AI-Aided Design for Sustainability offers critical insight into the tools, mindsets, and methods shaping contemporary architecture.
Maycon Sedrez is an architect and urban designer, artist, and educator with a background in computational design, digital fabrication and sustainable urbanism. His research areas include complexity and architecture, parametric design, digital fabrication, technologies, and urban design. He obtained his Ph.D. Diploma with excellence in Architecture, Technology and City from the University of Campinas in 2016. He contributed to the Institute for Sustainable Urbanism (TU Braunschweig—Germany) as a postdoc researcher in the field of urban analytics. Later in 2019, he became part of the University of Nottingham Ningbo China’s team, leading the Digital Design Lab, and acting as a course director and the deputy head of department. Since 2023, he is a lecturer in Architecture and currently Deputy Director of MindLab at Deakin University in Australia. He co-edited the book "Contemporary Architecture and Automation" (2018) with Prof. Gabriela Celani, which presents an overview of digital fabrication in Brazil. Additionally, he co-edited the books "Resilience vs Pandemics: Innovations in Cities and Neighbourhoods, and Public Spaces and Buildings" (2023 and 2024), and "Rethinking Stormwater Management through Sustainable Urban Design" (2024) with Prof. Ali Cheshmehzangi, showcasing his commitment to advancing knowledge in the field of sustainable urbanism. His engagement with art and illustration has led to publications in Brazil and Germany, with artworks exhibited in Brazil, China, and most recently in Australia. His artistic exploration informs his architectural design studios, creating a unique link between research and creativity.
Gregory Pitts is a practising architect and academic who has worked on a range of projects across Australia, Asia and the Middle East. In this time, Greg has also conducted several collaborative research projects with Deakin University and has completed a PHD on the use of Parametric Modelling in Architectural practice. Greg’s research is formed around the idea that we need to re-establish good collaborative relationships between academia and industry to drive cutting-edge, relevant research programs while positively contributing to the everyday working methods of Architectural practice. He was also the lead designer for Deakin University's winning design for the Model T Ford for the 21st century run by the Ford Motor Company and was subsequently awarded the Vice Chancellor’s award for Outstanding Contribution to collaboration through Innovation. Greg is also the Co-founder and director of Urban Creative - an award-winning architectural practice with a passion for both small and large-scale urban infill design. The designs stem from the belief in the ability of great design to reshape the way we interact and experience our urban environments. Greg has a strong focus on what can be achieved in the design of our built environment using innovative design technology and has a thorough experience in CAD management, 3D visualisation and design development. Through this work, Greg pursues an architecture driven by performance, spatial and organisational clarity that delights, inspires, and surprises.

Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
