Abstract

This research explores the impact of AI-assisted teaching on architecture students, addressing the literature gap on the effectiveness of AI in education, particularly in architectural studies. The study developed an AI-integrated teaching methodology and evaluated its influence over an eight-week course involving 24 students from same level in architecture department.
The study employed structured interviews and questionnaires at different stages of the course to assess the effectiveness of the AI teaching model. Findings showed that AI-enhanced teaching positively influenced students' learning, improving their innovative capabilities and work efficiency. However, challenges included uncoordinated use of AI tools by students and the unpredictability of AI-generated design solutions. Despite these challenges, the research supports integrating AI into architectural education to foster creativity, efficiency, and personalized learning. A balanced approach is suggested to prevent over-dependency on AI and to encourage critical thinking skills.
