Abstract

Sci-fi literature has become an important genre that explores and reflects on the societal anxieties, ethical quandaries, and existential threats concerning the trajectory of AI advancements, possibilities, and consequences of AI technologies. The objective of this article is to highlight the intersection of architectural space and artificial intelligence in Arkady Martine’s sci-fi novella Rose House (2023). A critical reading of Martine’s text reveals the poetics of space juxtaposed with the issues and complexities of artificial intelligence that unfolds new paradigms in which the relationship between people and place, space and being, the binaries of human and the non-human (AI) can be contemplated within a posthumanist framework of Rosi Braidotti and Heidegger’s notion of being. Moreover, the article utilizes the ideas of space syntax theory, and Henri Lefebvre’s ideas of space to analyze how spatial configurations (real and imagined) have an impact on human behaviour and actions in shaping space while interacting with artificial intelligence within the spatial dimensions of a house.

Arkady Martine《玫瑰屋》中的建筑空间与人工智能（AI）：解读空间性与人工智能/人类二分法

科幻文学已成为探讨和反思有关人工智能发展轨迹、可能性和后果的社会焦虑、伦理窘境和生存威胁的重要体裁。本文旨在强调阿卡迪-马丁（Arkady Martine）的科幻小说《玫瑰屋（2023）》中建筑空间与人工智能的交集。对马丁文本的批判性解读揭示了空间诗学与人工智能问题和复杂性的并置，展开了新的范式，在此范式中，人与地点、空间与存在、人类与非人类（人工智能）的二元关系可以在罗西-布赖多蒂（Rosi Braidotti）和海德格尔的 "存在 "概念的后人文主义框架内进行思考。此外，文章还利用空间句法理论和亨利-列斐伏尔（Henri Lefebvre）的空间观念，分析了在房屋空间维度内与人工智能互动时，空间配置（真实的和想象的）如何影响人类塑造空间的行为和行动。

期刊介绍： “The fundamental idea for interdisciplinarity derives” as our Chief Editor Explains, “from an evolutionary necessity; namely the need to confront and interpret complex systems…An entity that is studied can no longer be analyzed in terms of an object of just single discipline, but as a contending hierarchy of components which could be studied under the rubric of multiple or variable branches of knowledge.” Following this, we encourage authors to engage themselves in interdisciplinary discussion of topics from the broad areas listed below and apply interdsiciplinary perspectives from other areas of the humanities and/or the sciences wherever applicable. We publish peer-reviewed original research papers and reviews in the interdisciplinary fields of humanities. A list, which is not exclusive, is given below for convenience. See Areas of discussion. We have firm conviction in Open Access philosophy and strongly support Open Access Initiatives. Rupkatha has signed on to the Budapest Open Access Initiative. In conformity with this, the principles of publications are primarily guided by the open nature of knowledge.
