Explorando la intersección entre inteligencia artificial, patrimonio y arquitectura: una comparación entre el dibujo digital y el tradicional

Abstract

This article addresses the crucial role played by Artificial Intelligence (AI) in architectural contemporaneity, focusing on two key aspects: the conservation of architectural heritage and the evolution of representation techniques, specifically architectural drawing, both digital and analogue or by hand. It examines the differences and similarities between digital drawing and hand-drawing, highlighting how AI is transforming both approaches. In addition, the exciting application of AI in the digital recreation of historic facades is explored, detailing how AI facilitates image analysis, 3D modeling, realistic rendering, and reconstruction of lost elements. Finally, case studies are presented that illustrate the practical application of these techniques, such as the Hotel La Bella Vista in Cuernavaca and the Casa Biblioteca Miguel Salinas in Ciudad Morelos (Mexico), and the Jockey Club and La Casa del Florero in Bogotá (Colombia), as part of the ongoing research exercise that is being developed in parallel to what is presented here.
