| summary |
Design charrettes and town hall formats are commonly used in the field of architecture to facilitate group ideation at multiple stages across a variety of stakeholders. Group ideation is critical to generate a wide range of solutions while covering all aspects of a defined problem. However, the format of group ideation often poses a multitude of challenges, including a lack of diverse ideation, difficulties in reaching consensus, imbalanced power dynamics, as well as maintaining focus throughout a group session. This paper explores how recent developments in AI frameworks could be utilized and assembled as a creative mediator in an architectural ideation process.
The paper describes a framework and digital interface for AI-mediated group ideation where recent advancements in speech recognition, Natural Language Processing and Text-to-Image generation are leveraged to facilitate brainstorming processes. The paper first delves into the design of the framework and digital interface, taking into account in-person, remote and hybrid contexts, followed by the technical workflow and pilot evaluation methods used in this study. The resulting design is informed by AI-Mediated Communication, group dynamics and behavioral theories, along with core User Experience principles. The result takes the form of a visual ideation and transcription tool that allows users to ideate across conversational and visual methods. |
