“…It should be noted that the first group had in-depth knowledge of the needs of the elderly, acquired during the previous research studies. This research concerned a different topic and was conducted under the guidance of Anna Szewczenko [47], associated professor an expert in the field of architectural solutions friendly to seniors. In the course of the study, the group developed, among others, "personae" or characteristics of fictitious people of senior age, who were given names, their health condition was described, scenarios of their functioning and spending free time was conceived, including passions and interests, as well as their social roles, fears and worries.…”

The idea of sustainable smart city has extensive scientific literature where the architects’ role in designing built environments, being a physical platform for implementing “elderly-friendly” solutions, is poorly referenced. The main objective of the article is to define the role of architects in creating the image of sustainable smart cities, focusing on senior citizens. The paper surveys the available literature on the subject and describes pilot studies carried out at the indicative level among the students of one of architecture faculties in Poland, based on the design thinking method. The studies demonstrate how students imagine intelligent elderly-friendly cities in the future from the architects’ perspective. In addition, examples of other studies with the students of that faculty are presented. Following the analyses combining the conclusions of research and pilot studies with the students, a tabular summary of the architects’ tasks and roles were provided—these were divided into six building blocks of a smart city and as a reference to the elements shaping the image of cities, districts and buildings. This is a new, innovative classification of architectural issues. The perspectives for further desk research and field participatory research were indicated, which should, in the future, translate into a novel holistic approach to the problem.

“…As society, technology, and industry progressed, architectural education exhibited a more interdisciplinary character [4,33]. It aimed to guide students in mastering digital and informational technologies [34,35], humanities and social science analyses [36,37], and sustainable design [38,39], fostering their comprehensive literacy in fields such as digital and information sciences [11,40], humanities and social sciences [26,41,42], and sustainable development [43,44].…”

This study addresses the current lack of research on the effectiveness assessment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology in architectural education. Our aim is to evaluate the impact of AI-assisted architectural teaching on student learning. To achieve this, we developed an AI-embedded teaching model. A total of 24 students from different countries participated in this 9-week course, completing a comprehensive analysis of architectural programming and design using AI technologies. This study conducted questionnaire surveys with students at both midterm and final stages of the course, followed by structured interviews after the course completion, to explore the effectiveness and application status of the teaching model. The results indicate that the AI-embedded teaching model positively and effectively influenced student learning. The “innovative capability” and “work efficiency” of AI technologies were identified as key factors affecting the effectiveness of the teaching model. Furthermore, the study revealed a close integration of AI technologies with architectural programming but identified challenges in the uncontrollable expression of architectural design outcomes. Student utilization of AI technologies appeared fragmented, lacking a systematic approach. Lastly, the study provides targeted optimization suggestions based on the current application status of AI technologies among students. This research offers theoretical and practical support for the further integration of AI technologies in architectural education.
