The Role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Interior Architecture Design: Thematic Review

This thematic review paper delves into the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the field of interior architecture design. The integration of AI technologies into interior architecture is reshaping the way spaces are conceived, designed, and utilized, offering creativity and efficiency. Current research revealed that there is still a lack of review papers exploring the patterns and trends in the use of AI in interior architecture. Therefore, this thematic review (TR) aims to discuss the current use of AI applied in interior architecture by synthesizing the literature from 2020 to 2024 using ATLAS.ti 23. A keyword search, followed by a filter using inclusion criteria from SCOPUS and Emerald databases, identified 30 peer-reviewed journal articles which then were clustered into several themes _1) Design aesthetics and methodology, 2) Innovative material design, 3) Eco-Quality design, and 4) Intelligent system design. The results of this study will offer an overview of the need for a new method of designing interior space, and practical strategies for integrating AI in the interior. This review also serves as a valuable resource for interior architects and designers, seeking into the potential of AI in creating intelligent, and user-centered spaces.
