Abstract
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into architectural design hasrevolutionized the building industry. AI offers a wide range of algorithmicapproaches that can be used to explore abstract conceptual designs and generate anunlimited number of design ideas based on mathematically defined parameters.This paper provides an exploratory study that critically reviews the evolution of AIin architectural design. The study highlights the potentials, limitations, and futurevision of this technology within the context of architectural design. AI hastransitioned from a tool for functional optimization to an unprecedented resourcefor design inspiration based on machine intelligence. However, the authorsemphasize the importance of a balanced approach that ensures AI-generateddesigns are human-centric, environmentally responsible, and culturally sensitive.The study concludes that AI has the potential to inspire and enhance architecturaldesign but must be used ethically and responsibly to avoid negative impacts onhuman creativity and design ethics.Keywords
