Abstract

Under the background of the rapid development of science and technology, the relationship between generative AI (artificial intelligence) and the field of architectural creative design has become an important topic that has attracted much attention. With the continuous progress of science and technology, generative AI is gradually infiltrating into architectural design. In-depth study on the application of generative AI in this field is of great significance to promote the development of architectural creative design. In this paper, the theoretical basis of generative AI in the field of architectural creative design is deeply analyzed, and the internal logic of its combination with architectural design is explained in detail. At the same time, this paper focuses on the practical mode of generative AI in building concept generation, spatial layout design and shape shaping. Although generative AI has brought new opportunities for architectural creative design, it also faces many challenges in the process of practical application. Based on this, this paper puts forward a series of targeted strategies.
