Training students in Architecture in the digital and artificial intelligence era

Abstract

Architecture is one of the technical fields with specific scientific, aesthetic, and social characteristics. The process of training in architecture is closely linked to technological development with the support of computers and design software. In the digital age and artificial intelligence technology, architectural design thinking and methods have changed a lot. With the development of science and technology, computers not only support the design of technical drawings but also affect the architectural creation process, especially artificial intelligence technology. In particular, the requirements for architectural aesthetics in the new era do not stop at works with simple shapes but require works with architectural shapes and the ability to calculate microclimate at a very complex level (parametric design works). Therefore, in the training of architecture majors at universities in Vietnam, adjustments must be made to suit the current trend of technological development.
