international architectural education can produce graduates who are well-equipped to tackle global challenges in the field . ( Muhammad Bilal Ibrahim et al .).
C . Global Trends in Architectural Technology
Global trends in architectural technology are constantly evolving and shaping the field in new ways . With the rapid advancement of digital tools and Building Information Modeling ( BIM ), architects can now create intricate designs with unprecedented accuracy and efficiency . Augmented reality ( AR ) and virtual reality ( VR ) are also gaining popularity , allowing designers to visualize spaces in a more immersive way . Sustainable architecture is another key trend , with a focus on energy-efficient buildings and materials that reduce environmental impact . These advancements in technology not only enhance the design process but also have the potential to revolutionize how buildings are constructed and maintained . As architectural technology continues to progress , it is crucial for high school students to be introduced to these innovations early on to prepare them for the future of the industry . ( Chee Ken Nee et al ., p . 22- 29 ).
XVIII . Future Trends in Architectural Technology Education A . Integration of Artificial Intelligence ( AI )
The integration of Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) in teaching architectural technology at the high school level offers immense potential for enhancing students ' learning experiences . AI can provide personalized learning paths tailored to individual students ' needs and learning styles , thereby fostering a more student-centered approach in education . Furthermore , AI-powered tools can assist students in developing their design skills by offering real-time feedback on their work , guiding them towards improvement . By incorporating AI into architectural technology education , students can gain valuable insights into design principles and processes , preparing them for future careers in the field . Ultimately , the use of AI can revolutionize the way architectural technology is taught in high schools , making learning more engaging and effective for students . This innovative approach has the potential to reshape the way students learn and apply architectural concepts in their educational journey . ( Xizhong Song ).
