Pedagogical Reverberations II: Artificial Intelligence and the Meta-Layer of Design Studio Learning

Annual Meeting Proceedings

Author(s): Ting Chin & Claudia Hernandez-Feiks

Building on a paper presented at the Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø 111th Annual Meeting, this next iteration of *Pedagogical Reverberations* extends our investigation into architectural education by examining how emerging artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are reshaping the epistemological and pedagogical foundations of the design studio. Building on the taxonomy established in our previous research—which categorized studio pedagogy through the lenses of Architecture as Autonomous Form, Architecture as Instrument of Culture, and Architecture as Cultural-Formal Instrument (Hays, 1984)—this study introduces the concept of AI as a meta-layer operating across, between, and beyond these categories. Rather than viewing AI as a singular methodological tool, we posit that it functions as an interstitial and transformative agent—one that redefines authorship, cognition, and evaluation within architectural learning.
