My new book has been launched!": Artificial Intelligence and Architecture" (KTH Royal Institute of Technology, 2026):
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a territory under construction at a planetary scale. AI is zoned, controlled, and unevenly serviced. In this new territory, the building materials are energy, attention, and labor, and they are reassembled as predictions and
recommendations.
The interfaces of AI are smooth, but the ground conditions are not: bias, unfair labor, uneven global
benefits, among others. Efficiency has become a new form of justification. AI is a territory where spatial decisions are made elsewhere, at high speed, and on a global scale.
📖 This is how my introduction opens. I am proud to have edited this volume and contributed to. "Artificial Intelligence and Architecture" brings together critical perspectives on how AI is reshaping societies, the environment, and architecture.

My research explores the intersection of architecture and artificial intelligence (AI) and their impact on social equality and the built environment. Within the European Commission Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Individual Fellowship project EQUBUILD, I investigate how AI tools can support architects, urban planners, and decision-makers in creating public spaces that enhance democratic social inclusion and reduce inequalities for a more cohesive society.
Public spaces can reinforce citizens’ opportunities for equality, promoting more balanced living standards and peaceful cities. Public buildings can be a tool for the administrations and society to support citizens’ equality as a basic human right, a global concern addressed by UN SDG 10 and a core value of the EU.
I have innovatively analyzed public spaces in Swedish cities and AI-driven methods, unveiling what and how design strategies enhance societal equality in each case. EQUBUILD delivers new knowledge, presenting architecture and AI as an active tool in implementing equality measures and recommendations for architectural designs, architects, urban designers, policy-makers, researchers, and the rest of society. The results open new research paths in the EU, contribute to UN SDGs; consolidate a novel field in architecture; facilitate gender equality, and reinforce citizens’ equality, for balanced and peaceful cities.
