Artificial Intelligence, Architectural Design, Psychological Productivity, Workspaces, Cognitive PerformanceAbstract
This study comprehensively addresses the effects of artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced architectural work environments on psychological productivity. Artificial intelligence allows workspaces to be dynamically optimized according to physical and psychological needs, with positive effects on stress management, motivation, creativity and cognitive performance. AI-supported spaces not only increase the physical comfort of individuals by providing ergonomic solutions, but also make work processes more efficient with their customizable and flexible structures.
Research findings reveal that AI-optimized work environments reduce individuals' stress levels and thus have a positive impact on focus, creativity and job satisfaction. AI's ability to adjust environmental factors such as lighting, noise management and thermal comfort according to individual needs enhances cognitive performance and increases the overall productivity of individuals. The flexibility offered by AI technology enables greater flexibility and efficiency in business processes by quickly adapting work environments to the immediate needs of users.
In the future, it is envisaged that AI has the potential to personalize spaces with more advanced algorithms to respond not only to physical but also to emotional and mental needs. This development will provide more precise and adaptive solutions based on psychological factors such as the mood and cognitive state of individuals. Experimentally testing the long-term effects, examining the applicability in different sectors and developing more sensitive AI systems according to the personal characteristics of individuals are among the important recommendations for future studies. This study highlights the possibilities that AI-supported spaces offer in increasing efficiency in architectural designs and supporting the psychological well-being of individuals.
