Abstract

Recent AI advances have improved Saudi building design inventiveness, efficiency, and cultural sensitivity. Automating tedious activities like image resizing and layout optimization with AI helps designers focus on novel concepts. AI may assess client preferences and society conventions to assist designers adapt their ideas to local cultural values, making architectural development projects more appealing. Even though it has many advantages, artificial intelligence in architecture is confronted with several challenges. The complex history of Saudi Arabia should be used to guide the development of AI-driven products. AI may struggle to meet customer and cultural expectations, and improper AI integration into systems may hinder innovation. Machine learning techniques that are powered by artificial intelligence and generative adversarial networks (AI-GANs) are utilized in the proposed method for the purpose to enhance design processes. These tools help designers build culturally sensitive, customer-focused, brand-consistent designs. AI-powered sentiment analysis and trend forecasts can identify consumer requirements and product success. Artificial intelligence can visualize, improve layouts, and build culturally sensitive architecture. AR and VR technology recreates cultural and historical events, and AI’s data-driven decisions based on market trends, user interaction, and sales statistics can boost design efficiency and creativity. Simulation studies evaluate AI applications throughout design utilizing performance metrics and predictive analytics. Companies must assess the performance and efficacy of AI-driven design processes, client happiness, and cultural norms. Design specialists can better serve the Saudi Arabian market by considering this data and adapting their approaches to the regional preferences.

Artificial intelligence (AI), generative adversarial networks (GANs), virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR)
