The aim of this research is to emphasise the significance of introducing AI technology into undergraduate Architecture education in Punjab and to determine the appropriate timing and approach for its inclusion in the Outcome Based Curriculum (OBC). A survey was conducted among Architecture department students, professionals, and faculty members to achieve this goal. The study suggests that it is crucial to incorporate AI technology into Computer Application courses alongside other software tools and recommends introducing it in the first year of the undergraduate program to establish a fundamental understanding of architectural design and drafting. The research underscores the importance of prioritising a clear understanding of related content and providing practical demonstrations. Additionally, the study assesses the prevalence of AI tool integration in undergraduate Architecture programs across 10 top-ranked universities and institutes worldwide, as per the 2019 QS world ranking and NIRF ranking. The research recognises the vital role played by AI tool training in promoting economic growth among students and aims to foster individuals with diverse expertise in specialised areas, who are well-rounded and creative. The study aims to address the fact that Architecture is increasingly technology-driven and demands a digital approach to tackle emerging challenges that cannot be confined to a single discipline. The study results are expected to offer insights into the current usage of AI tools in Architecture education and guide future efforts to enhance the curriculum.
