Abstract

This article examines how artificial intelligence (AI) can enrich the teaching of architectural design in an online education context. Through a course-workshop for teachers, AI is introduced in techno-pedagogies and discursive design. The pedagogical approach is based on active and reflective learning. Teachers apply AI in various phases of design, addressing ethical and social issues. The results show that AI offers valuable tools for teaching, although it also raises ethical concerns. The study concludes that AI has the potential to foster creativity and critical thinking in the teaching of architecture.
