The connection between cognitive science and the architectural design process reveals significant gaps that limit the full potential of creating effective built environments. A key issue is the insufficient integration of cognitive principles into design workflows. Architects frequently rely on traditional methods and aesthetic considerations without fully understanding how spatial configurations influence human cognition and behavior. While recent AI applications in architecture, such as Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD), Building Information Modeling (BIM), and interactive web and VR presentations, show promising advancements, AI still struggles with complex architectural functions. AI lacks the creativity and imagination inherent in human cognition. It operates based on fixed programming, producing specific outcomes and requiring human oversight to apply insights from one dataset to another. The primary challenge in using AI for architectural design is ensuring minimal design flaws, as replicating human cognitive abilities with AI and various machine learning techniques remains difficult. This research paper aims to explore the relationship between cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and the architectural design process through four main objectives: First, to investigate the integration of AI with current architectural software applications. Second, to examine potential connections between AI and major architectural design trends. Third, to define two frameworks for the Cognitive Architectural Design Process to guide the development of AI systems in architectural design by analyzing key cognitive design theories. Finally, to create a proposed "Architectural Design Process-Cognitive Pilot Map" from an architectural perspective to aid AI programmers in developing architecture design software applications.
