Abstract
With the rapid advancement of modern technologies, artificial intelligence has emerged as a transformative driver within architectural education. This technology offers capabilities such as personalized learning experiences, accelerated design processes, and precise project analysis, opening up new possibilities for educational systems. However, challenges such as diminished critical thinking skills, over-reliance on technology, and ethical and cultural considerations also arise, underscoring the need to recognize and address these issues for effective utilization of AI. Given the lack of comprehensive research in this field, the present study aims to explore the perspectives, opportunities, challenges, and future of AI in architectural education, as viewed by international experts. Employing a qualitative approach, the study analyzed the responses of 13 international experts who were purposefully selected based on specialized criteria. Data collection involved a questionnaire comprised of 16 open-ended questions, which were subsequently coded, categorized, and analyzed to derive final results. Findings revealed that the prevailing attitude toward AI in architectural education is predominantly positive but conditional and cautious. Opportunities such as facilitating the learning process, enhancing creativity, and driving fundamental changes in educational environments were acknowledged.
