Abstract

In the era of rapid technological advancement, Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a vital role in architecture and education. In Bali, the challenge lies in adopting modern technologies while preserving cultural heritage through sustainable development. This study investigates the integration of AI into architectural education to enhance sustainable practices while maintaining traditional values. A case study approach was employed, and data was collected through interviews and observations at universities in Bali. The findings indicate that AI significantly improves design efficiency, reducing completion time from three months to one month and increasing building energy efficiency from 70% to 85%. Additionally, AI facilitates cultural preservation by enabling the digital documentation and application of traditional elements, guided by the Tri Hita Karana philosophy, which emphasizes a balance between humans, nature, and spirituality. However, concerns from some stakeholders suggest that AI may diminish architects' creative roles, highlighting the need for a balanced approach where technology supports, rather than replaces, human creativity. The research underscores the importance of educational curricula integrating AI without compromising cultural identity, ensuring sustainable architectural practices in Bali. The study offers valuable insights for academic institutions, policymakers, and industry stakeholders, showcasing how tradition and technology can coexist. It concludes that AI integration effectively supports sustainability while preserving Bali’s cultural heritage, fostering synergy between innovation and tradition to address sustainable development challenges. These findings contribute to developing an educational framework that promotes innovation and cultural preservation in architectural design.
