Architecture-AI Curriculum Integration: Theoretical Frameworks and Pedagogical Innovations
Journal: Region - Educational Research and Reviews DOI: 10.32629/rerr.v7i4.3863
Abstract
Facing the urgent need for digital transformation and deep integration of intelligent technologies in the
construction industry, the traditional architectural education system faces severe challenges in interdisciplinary coll
aboration, depth of technological application, and cultivation of innovation capabilities. Based on the staged learni
ng rules of disciplines, this study focuses on the interdisciplinary curriculum integration mechanism between archi
tecture and artificial intelligence, proposing the “Three-stage Five-chain” teaching system aimed at breaking down
disciplinary barriers, constructing a modular connection framework, and promoting the transformation of architect
ural education toward intelligence and systematization.
