The Use and Development of Artificial Intelligence in Architectural Design Processes

Abstract

Artificial intelligence is widely used as an interactive technology in various professional disciplines. The widespread use of these technologies, which we benefit from in most areas of our lives, in the education sector will provide important developments in the field of education. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the existing studies in which the use of artificial intelligence helps in architectural design processes. In the study, identification, screening, eligibility, inclusion, and data analysis processes were carried out in three search engines such as Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and ULAKBIM. While reporting the research, ‘Systematic Literature Review’ and ‘Preferred Reporting Items for Meta-Analysis’ protocols were followed and a total of 35 relevant articles were identified. In the research, three popular Artificial Intelligence applications used in architectural design processes were identified as Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), Machine Learning, and Data Mining. In addition, Systematic Literature Review (SLR) outputs show that most researchers are supported by artificial intelligence applications in architectural design processes. As a result of the research, it was determined that artificial intelligence is widely used in architectural design processes, however, it has positive effects in 3D and animation parts.
