Paper Abstract

Modified 20/11/2024 Many modern mosque users express concerns that while the exterior of the mosque may be architecturally striking and visually appealing, the interior design often fails to evoke the sense of serenity and piousness that transcended in historical mosques and is essential for a mood conducive to soul-reaching experience. This discrepancy may stem from the hasty manner in which mosque interiors are designed due to the absence of advanced design tools capable of generating diverse design alternatives that align with users' perceptions and expectations. Generative AI and AI algorithms have already introduced a significant paradigm shift in the realms of architectural and interior space design. The advent of deep generative models has remarkably enhanced the efficiency of the design process. Generative AI can provide a multitude of interior design options, offering a wide range of alternatives for consideration. Several AI-powered design tools are currently available, each capable of delivering diverse and unique outcomes. Numerous interior design alternatives can be tailored to specific preferences regarding layout, form, color, lighting, textures, and materials. Additionally, these algorithms can be programmed to respond to specific mood prompts, thereby creating spaces that resonate with the desired ambiance and emotional response. This study explores the potential of AI in revolutionizing the design of mosque interiors. It seeks to assess the effectiveness of AI applications in generating mosque interior designs that meet the aesthetic and emotional expectations of users. By conducting surveys and interviews with common mosque users and design professionals, the research aims to evaluate the extent to which AI-generated designs succeed in fulfilling the mood and design preferences of respondents. This exploration not only highlights the innovative capabilities of AI in design but also underscores the importance of integrating user feedback and preferences to create spaces that truly reflect the intended atmosphere of tranquility and devotion. The integration of AI in interior mosque architecture represents a forward-thinking approach that leverages advanced technology to create spaces that are not only visually appealing but also spiritually uplifting. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the broader field of architectural design, offering valuable perspectives on the role of AI in shaping the spaces where we live, work, and worship.
