解析生成式AI中语言如何塑造建筑创作,提出三类语言交互框架。

Words, Spaces and Generative AI: Layers of language in contemporary architecture

  • 区分自然语言、编程语言与数据标注三类语言在建筑生成中的作用。
  • 建议用语料库分析与话语研究方法,量化建筑文本中的概念隐喻。
  • 强调不同语言的表达差异会影响生成式隐喻的设计结果,适合跨学科研究者。

语言可视为建筑中的设计材料。随着文本到X生成式AI模型成为建筑实践的常用工具,深入考察语言的重要性较以往更为突出。本文从维特根斯坦、乔姆斯基、拉科夫及舍恩提出的概念与生成隐喻出发,将语言学发展脉络与当代建筑设计及生成式文本工具相联系。文章提出,在使用生成式AI进行建筑设计时,存在三种主要语言形式的交织:(I) 论述语言(含专业术语的自然语言),(II) 编程语言(支撑计算系统的造作语言),以及 (III) 注释语言(附着于数据元素的语言)。最后,提出三项研究议程:(a) 对建筑文本开展语料库语言学研究,结合主题建模等定量工具与话语分析等定性方法;(b) 推动传播理论与信息研究与建筑研究的融合;(c) 关注不同自然语言带来的认知差异,指出生成与概念隐喻随语言而异。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Language can be considered a design material in architecture, and in the context of text-to-X generative AI models becoming a common tool for architectural practice, looking more closely at language is more important now than in the past. After describing some of the important developments in linguistics starting from Wittgenstein, and including the work of Chomsky, Lakoff, conceptual and generative metaphors as proposed by Schön, this chapter connects them to contemporary architectural design and generative text-to-X tools. The chapter builds on the idea that three main forms of language intertwine in architectural design done using generative AI, namely (I) discourse (or natural language which can contain professional terminology specific to our field), (II) programming languages (which are artificial languages sitting at the basis of all computational systems), and (III) annotations (as language elements attached to pieces of data). It concludes by outlining a research agenda for connecting generative metaphors to generative AI: (a) conducting corpus linguistics studies on architectural texts (using quantitative tools such as topic modelling, and qualitative tools such as discourse analysis); (b) bringing communication theory and information studies closer to architectural research and (c) taking into account that different (natural) languages come with different affordances meaning generative and conceptual metaphors differ in relation to this.
