The Routledge Companion to Artificial Intelligence in Architecture

Imdat As is the recipient of the prestigious International Fellowship for Outstanding Researchers and Grant by TUBITAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) and researches and teaches at Istanbul Technical University. Imdat received his B.Arch. from METU (Middle East Technical University), his M.Sc. in Arch. from MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), and his doctorate from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. He co-authored, Dynamic Digital Representations in Architecture: Visions in Motion (Taylor & Francis, 2008). In 2011, he founded Arcbazar.com, a first-of -its-kind crowdsourcing platform for architectural design, which has been featured as one of the Top 100 Most Brilliant Companies by Entrepreneur Magazine. In 2017, he used Arcbazar's design data through a DARPA-funded research project to generate conceptual designs via artificial intelligence. Imdat is currently heading the CIDDI lab (City Design through Design Intelligence) at ITU, and investigates the impact of emerging technologies on urban morphology and the future of the city.Prithwish Basu is a Principal Scientist at Raytheon BBN Technologies (BBN). He has a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from Boston University (2003) and a B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi (1996). Prithwish has been the Principal Investigator (PI) of several U.S. government funded research projects on networking and network science during his 17 year tenure at BBN. He was the Program Director for U.S. Army Research Laboratory's Network Science Collaborative Technology Alliance (NS CTA) program which ran from 2009 until early 2020, and made fundamental contributions to advancing the state-of-the-art for the science of dynamic intertwined multi-genre networks. Prithwish also led the DARPA-funded Fundamental Design (FUN Design) in 2017-2018, which explored the application of state-of-the-art AI/ML algorithms for graphs encoding architectural design data. Currently he is leading the development of algorithms in the DARPA-funded FastNICs program for speeding up Deep Neural Network (DNN) training by automatically parallelizing DNN workloads on fast network hardware. Prithwish recently served as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions of Mobile Computing and was the Lead Guest Editor for the IEEE Journal of Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC) special issue on Network Science. He has co-authored over 110 peer-reviewed articles (in conferences, journals, and book chapters) and has won best paper awards at IEEE NetSciCom 2014 and PAKDD 2014. He was also a recipient of MIT Technology Review's TR35 (top 35 innovators under 35) award in 2006.
