Description
Making Common Sense examines the concept of “common sense,” or the human understanding of the world around us, from a historical and philosophical perspective in the field of construction and architecture. The author traces the evolution of engineering and construction from ancient times and early civilizations to the present era, equipped with artificial intelligence systems. He shows how humans have always used their empirical knowledge and intuitive understanding to create lasting structures.
The book’s main focus is on the grand challenge of how to translate this “common sense” and human spatial-physical understanding into digital codes and autonomous construction systems. This work establishes a deep connection between the history of engineering, architecture, philosophy of mind, and artificial intelligence, opening up new horizons for the future of the construction industry.
