Artificial Intelligence in Architecture: An Educational Perspective

Artificial intelligence is a phenomenon that currently influences every aspect of life. AI applications already started to change the business methods in different disciplines. Architecture is one of the disciplines that is highly affected by the developments in AI technologies. The complex nature of the practice makes architecture a significant area of experiment for artificial intelligence applications. From building information modelling to advanced visualization techniques, artificial intelligence and architecture’s collaboration has important outcomes that affect the practice’s present and future. However, the permanent and more fundamental effects of AI on architecture must be followed in the architectural education curricula which provides the basics for the future of the profession. This paper presents a study that reviews the methods of artificial intelligence in architecture from an educational perspective. It includes existing implementations and potential future strategies from different domains and areas of theory and practice that might be useful for the development of architectural education.
