Abstract | ||||
This research explores the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in architectural façade design by integrating human creativity with advanced technological capabilities. It aims to investigate the diverse potential of AI applications in this field, focusing on the challenges of implementation and the benefits AI brings to architectural design processes. The theoretical section examines the historical evolution of façade design and visualization methods, from traditional techniques to today’s digital revolution. This includes computer-aided design (CAD) systems that enhance precision and efficiency, Building Information Modeling (BIM), and immersive technologies like Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). These tools offer interactive experiences for designers and clients alike. The research also discusses fundamental AI concepts and their growing applications in architecture. The practical section highlights how AI technologies are specifically applied in façade design and visualization, exploring current innovations and their advantages for architects. The study concludes that AI is not merely an auxiliary tool but a transformative force in façade design. It supports and enriches the creative process by enabling innovative and unconventional solutions. Additionally, it allows for the creation of more complex, aesthetically refined, and functionally efficient designs. These outcomes directly enhance the quality of the built environment and the comfort of its users. the research recommends embracing advanced technologies and leveraging their potential to foster continued innovation and progress in architecture. | ||||
