Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and smart home technologies can enhance visual quality, functionality, and inclusion in built environments. AI algorithms are essential for refining lighting models, strengthening natural lighting, energy efficiency, and sustainability. VR provides immersive experiences in architectural and environmental planning, as well as in cultural heritage preservation and architectural education. Integrating VR with Building Information Modeling (BIM) platforms improves visualization and interaction in sustainable building design. Additionally, AR and smart home systems offer real-time information on space design, enhancing accessibility and efficiency, especially for people with disabilities. AR can also assist in assessing building safety and predicting disasters. This combination of technologies optimizes architectural design, lighting, and space distribution, promoting attractive, functional, and inclusive environments that enhance the well-being and quality of life of all people.
