Pursuing an AI Ontology for Landscape Architecture

Technological advancements have become ubiquitous within landscape architecture. One of the latest advancements is in Artificial Intelligence, including techniques such as Machine Learning, Artificial Neural Networks and problem optimization. These advancements have already worked their way into landscape architecture. In this theoretical paper we briefly identify what the state of the art in AI is, as well as its potential and limitations in the discipline. Specifically, we argue for the need to create a disciplinary ontology to make knowledge explicit and shared amongst humans and machines.
