AI-enhanced conversational design processes: A systematic review

AI technologies have been widely explored in the architectural design process over the last decade. This paper addresses the limitations of the existing reviews on AI applications in the architectural design process, including a lack of focus on the design process, limited coverage of AI technologies, and under-exploration of human-AI interaction environments. The paper systematically reviews and comparatively analyses 63 articles filtered through 1138 publications from 8 databases. The findings include comparative analysis charts and tables of the different AI-enhanced design processes, the human-AI interaction environment, as well as their evaluation. They highlight the expectation that AI will function as a conversational design partner. Lastly, the paper presents a novel framework for the AI-enhanced conversational architectural design process.
