Project Aim & Design Question 

PROJECT AIM

This project explores how artificial intelligence can support architectural concept development through a structured design workflow. The aim is to investigate how AI tools can assist in idea generation, visualization, research, and design refinement while maintaining the architect's role in critical thinking and decision-making.

DESIGN SCENARIO

Option A : Concept Design Workflow

The selected project is a contemporary therapeutic visitor center located in a tropical rainforest. The design is inspired by Tadao Ando's philosophy of light, silence, water, and emotional transition.

CORE QUESTION

How can AI support architectural thinking and workflow rather than simply generate images?

OBJECTIVES

• Develop an AI-assisted architectural workflow.

• Explore concept development through prompt refinement.

• Compare multiple AI-generated design iterations.

• Apply human judgment in evaluating and refining outputs.

• Reflect on the role of AI in architectural design practice.
