Abstract:
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into architectural design has revolutionized the building industry. AI offers a wide range of algorithmic approaches that can be used to explore abstract conceptual designs and generate an unlimited number of design ideas based on mathematically defined parameters. This paper provides an exploratory study that critically reviews the evolution of AI in architectural design. The study highlights the potentials, limitations, and future vision of this technology within the context of architectural design. AI has transitioned from a tool for functional optimization to an unprecedented resource for design inspiration based on machine intelligence. However, the authors emphasize the importance of a balanced approach that ensures AI-generated designs are human-centric, environmentally responsible, and culturally sensitive. The study concludes that AI has the potential to inspire and enhance architectural design but must be used ethically and responsibly to avoid negative impacts on human creativity and design ethics.
