Abstract
This paper explores the convergence of Deleuze’s multiplicities, Benjamin’s loss of aura, architectural representation, and Generative AI in contemporary creative practices, specifically within architectural representation. Deleuze’s concept challenges hierarchical structures, fostering new configurations of thought, and Benjamin’s notion questions the authenticity of reproduced images, influencing the transformation of the intersection of art and architecture.
The emergence of architectural representation blurs physical and virtual boundaries, while Generative AI introduces algorithm-driven spatial designs. Investigating these intersections, this paper explores their impact on architectural practices, particularly in digital design. It examines how Generative AI challenges traditional authorship and creativity, promoting collaborative processes. Synthesising these concepts ascribes the evolving landscape of architectural practice in the digital age, emphasising the need to engage critically with these frameworks.
