Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is driving transformative changes in landscape architecture, reshaping the sector. This study examines AI's innovative role in landscape design and its future potential. AI algorithms accelerate design processes and enable data-driven decision-making through comprehensive analyses of large datasets. While increasing the efficiency of design processes, this technology also contributes significantly to sustainability and environmental sensitivity. By promoting the efficient use of natural resources, AI aids in reducing environmental impact and strengthens the sustainability of future landscape projects. AI-driven analyses provide designers with innovative and effective solutions, especially in areas such as water resource management, climate-adapted plant selection, and ecosystem preservation. However, awareness-building training programs are needed among designers to ensure AI’s effective use. The integration of AI into landscape architecture not only guides sector innovations but also contributes to the creation of new career opportunities. This study takes a comprehensive look at AI's role and future impact in landscape architecture.
