Use of Artificial Intelligence in Educational Design for Architecture Students

One of the promising areas of artificial intelligence (AI) use is architectural design. Most of the world-renowned architectural bureaus are experimenting and exploring the use of AI in their daily work. It is necessary to integrate the ability to apply such tools wisely into the education process for architecture students to be competitive and participate in projects involving AI successfully. The growing interest in AI among students and modern architectural educational institutions and bureaus determines the relevance of this research. The article discusses the specificity of the use of AI within the framework of architectural education, which involves providing students with access to resources and participation in international projects. AI makes it possible to develop creativity and promotes greater adaptability and openness of future architects to cooperate with professionals from different fields, promoting a holistic approach to design and problem-solving. Incorporating AI concepts and technologies into architectural education equips future architects with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive professionally. Some of the main benefits and results of the approach include access to AI tools and resources, interdisciplinary cooperation, innovation and creativity, environmental responsibility, efficiency, and project management. There are several directions to successfully use AI in educational design, such as: search for ideas, organisation of text information, and visualisation. Overall, AI’s impact on educational design for architectural students is quite significant. Integrating innovative technologies can improve the quality of education, provide students with new opportunities for developing creative and analytical skills, and prepare them for the challenges of modern architectural practice, with the consideration of ethical norms. This adoption also supports the development of sustainable design practices, as AI can analyse complex data to optimise the use of materials and energy in building projects. Further, AI-driven tools can help simulate and visualise environmental impact and sustainability, which is increasingly critical in modern architecture.
