Abstract: Artificial Intelligence is profoundly reshaping the ways in which architectural design is conceived, represented, and communicated, opening unprecedented perspectives that encompass drawing, design, and the culture of the architectural project. Within this context of rapid technological transformation, this volume offers a critical reflection on the relationship between human creativity and intelligent systems, examining not only the opportunities offered by emerging technologies but also the ethical, cultural, and professional implications of their use.The book brings together the contributions presented at the Third Seminar of the PhD Programme in Architecture, Industrial Design, and Cultural Heritage (2023), devoted to Artificial Intelligence as a new frontier in design experimentation. Through a range of disciplinary perspectives, the authors address issues related to representation, architectural design, visual communication, computational design, education, and the evolving role of the architect, providing a comprehensive overview of the transformations currently taking place.Rather than seeking definitive answers, the volume encourages the development of a critical and informed perspective on the use of Artificial Intelligence, recognizing it as a tool capable of enhancing design thinking without replacing the sensitivity, cultural awareness, and sense of responsibility that are inherent to human intelligence. It is intended for scholars, practitioners, and students interested in understanding one of the most significant challenges facing contemporary architectural design.

Since 2022 she has been Coordinator of the National PhD program in Design for Made in Italy. From 2016 to 2021 she was President of the Bachelor's Degree in Fashion Design at the same University. From 2008 to 2012 she was Delegate of the Rector for University Communication and since 2009 she has been Director of the CCS Centre for University Communication. She has been a member and/or manager of national and international research projects, including: PRIN ( since 2002) PON for Innovative Doctorates (2021). She is scientific head of the research line "Design Heritage. Connective Patrimony" at the Department of Architecture and Industrial Design of the University "Luigi Vanvitelli". She is the scientific head and promoter of numerous agreements with institutions and organisations in the area, with particular focus on museum institutions. Her international European and ex-European contacts are numerous. She is a member of numerous scientific committees of scientific journals, publishing series, national and international conferences and exhibitions. His field of research is the geometric-configurative representation of space, which he investigates with a focus on issues related to perceptual and communicative processes both in architecture and in the documentation of the existing and, more generally, in visual communication design. Themes related to inclusive and sustainable fruition strategies of the cultural heritage are more recently the dominant themes of his research itineraries. The results of his research have been presented at national and international conferences, as well as in monographs, curatorships, and essays and articles in specialised journals.
