Interview with Chat GPT to Define Architectural Design Studio Work: Possibilities, Conflicts and Limits

Abstract

Design studio forms the backbone of architectural education. It is the first-place students encounter complex design problems that they should understand the context, search for the reasons, structure the demands, and develop creative solutions in the design process. The continuity and integrity of design studios are important, so the instructors have great effort to define and explore the project subjects and themes for each grade to make the environment more productive, creative, and collaborative. The meetings, web and literature surveys, and thoughts and experience of instructors enable the definition of an architectural design studio work. This research is to seek another knowledge source that could have possible contributions to this process. Chat CPT is a newly released artificial intelligence project that people can experience for months. It is a language model the training and learning continue. By the objective of the research, an interview with chat GPT is structured and executed to define and explore possible issues and valuable knowledge for third-year architectural design studio work as a case study. The recordings are presented, and an evaluation survey, Delphi technique among experts, is held to emphasize artificial intelligence's possibilities, conflict, and limits in taking the stakeholder role. Prominent findings are that AI continuously responds and presents important issues for requirements and concepts. It has limits on reaching the maps and conflicts in distinguishing the countries and institutions.
