Edizioni Glyphe · second edition, September 2026

A practical handbook on the use of artificial intelligence in architectural and engineering design, built around a single continuous case study: from reading a hand sketch to the brief, from visualisation to structural analysis under the Italian NTC 2018 code, through to planning analysis and documentary checking.

A revised second edition with 50 prompts: each comes with its own verification panel, because checking the result remains the job of the professional who signs it. The prompts from the book are collected in an online library.

Inside the book
