        Rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and the interest in their application in educational fields lead to significant growth in the scientific literature concerning the application of AI in education. Architectural design is a complex design that uses old experiences and creativity to produce new designs. The artificial intelligence use for the design process should not focus on finding a solution in a defined search space because the design requirements at the conceptual stage are not yet well defined. Instead, the artificial intelligence application should be considered to explore the design requirements and provide solutions to meet those requirements. The present applied study aims to provide an architectural design training model based on artificial intelligence in architecture education to provide an overview of artificial intelligence for the development and further implementation of the country's design education system. The type of this research is applied-developmental, and its method is descriptive-analytical and in terms of data collection surveys. A questionnaire was distributed among all faculty members of Azad University and experts in this field to collect the data required for the study. The collected data was analyzed by the method of content analysis. The results contain solutions to provide a model for architectural design training based on artificial intelligence. This study will acquaint professors and researchers to understand the status and development of financial and physical infrastructure and artificial intelligence hardware and software. Also, it will help increase the effectiveness and efficiency of its usage in architectural education. The findings also help activists, officials, educators, and researchers identify ways to improve designer education. Manuscript profile

        2 - Reading the "narrative" of Architectural Works; A Solution to Improve the Design Ability of Architecture Students

        Narrative has existed in all known human civilizations as a tradition and has always been considered as a structure that transmits human knowledge and ideas and the achievement of their lived experiences. Accordingly, theorists have considered human life as a narrative life and even scientific theories as constantly modifiable narratives that provide an explanation of the world and try to have the power to predict and control the world. Therefore nowadays, the use of narration method in active education has received a lot of attention. According to the role of narration in understanding the world and human experience, various articles point out that the use of narration in educational methods can increase the transfer of learning. Also by creating awareness, enthusiasm and participation, increase curiosity and creativity and better understanding of the subject under study. Therefore, this article, which is considered applied research goal, with a qualitative research strategy and with reference to documentary and library studies and with an interpretive approach, tries to explain the concept of narrative and constructive learning environments. Explains how to read the architectural narrative of space of architectural works in design studios and how it affects students' design ability. It shows that reading the narrative of these works can appear at different levels of abstraction from description to interpretation, and by its Situatedness, Event sequenting and different world makings, provide multiple representations of reality. That can enhance students' design ability by strengthening mental imagery, visualizing the experience of substitution, and developing creative solutions. Manuscript profile

        The space syntax and geometric layout, influenced by a wide array of explicit and implicit parameters and lead to multiple solutions for design problems, are one of the primary steps for architectural designs. Two of the main challenges faced in this subject are: utilizing the computational power of computers to predict the space syntax of architectural plans and defining the problem in an Algorithmic language. The current study aims to present an algorithm for reaching a space syntax followed by the users' needs and preferences to form a meaningful connection between the houses and their residents and facilitate the user's participation in the design of midrise residential buildings. In the current study, multi-objective optimization was used to achieve space syntax designs based on multiple parameters. In order to optimize, a set of 200 manually layout design plans were used as input for the algorithm; the algorithm then generates plans for the midrise residential buildings based on criteria such as open and closed space area, requirements for orientations of various spaces, number of rooms. Then, numerous solutions are reviewed and compared, and the most suitable plan is chosen based on the results. Finally, the entire process of algorithm was tested for some case studies, and the results show a great capacity of the proposed method in providing space syntax plans with speed and variety.
