Designing the Built Environment Through Hybrid Intelligence

Abstract

There is a lack of an intelligent platform that supports continuous deliberation and captures diverse views and stakeholders' values during the architectural design process in the early stages. Using hybrid intelligence, this study proposes a method that integrates value, and design pattern theories, to support deliberation during the design process. Three steps comprise the method: eliciting value, extracting design patterns, and designing through deliberation with AI agents using natural language processing through hybrid intelligence. The final set of design patterns reflects the participants' values and ideas, facilitating informed consensus and collaboration between stakeholders supported by AI agents. By integrating diverse perspectives into the loop through continuous deliberation, the proposed method incorporates stakeholders' value for extracting design patterns that address primary design goals and challenges such as energy transition in the built environment.
