Abstract
Aims: The development of AI tools in interior architecture has brought both opportunities and challenges. The primary objective of this research is to highlight the weaknesses and shortcomings in the professional application of artificial intelligence-based tools in interior architecture. The second objective is to introduce and explain the role of agent-based systems in enhancing the efficiency of artificial intelligence tools in interior architecture.



Methods: This research employs a descriptive-analytical method as its primary approach. In the descriptive phase, data were collected from existing sources to examine the impact of artificial intelligence on the interior design process. Subsequently, a questionnaire was designed to gather designers' opinions regarding the influence of artificial intelligence on interior architecture and the role of designers. The collected data were then statistically analyzed using SPSS.



Findings: More than 80% of the surveyed interior architects were familiar with artificial intelligence tools, with most identifying Midjourney as a key tool that reduces time and increases efficiency. The most significant challenges identified pertain to the healthy building domain, particularly in relation to indoor air quality, environmentally friendly materials, and the comfort and ergonomics of spaces.



Conclusion: The qualitative findings of this research indicate that agent-based systems play a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency of artificial intelligence tools in the interior architecture process. This is particularly important in the healthy building domain, as it provides a comprehensive model for understanding the interaction between Bauphysik, Bauchemie, Baubiologie, environmentally friendly materials, and occupant health.
