Abstract

In recent decades, with the advancement and expansion of knowledge in behavioral sciences and technology, new
opportunities have emerged for architects and architectural design. The design of objective and subjective
patterns, as one of the most basic physical and mental needs of humans, has long directly impacted the quality of people’s
lives. In this regard, understanding human behaviors, needs, and interactions in a design, especially with the influence
and attention to the characteristics of behavioral sciences, can help create more efficient, human-centered, and
harmonious environments with people’s daily lives. On the other hand, the emergence of artificial intelligence as a
powerful tool in data analysis and providing creative suggestions and solutions has opened new horizons in the
architectural design process. Combining data from behavioral sciences with the capabilities of artificial intelligence
enables the definition of design patterns in a way that can meet the diverse needs of each individual and, at the same time,
improve and enhance sustainability, flexibility, and aesthetics in design thinking and architecture. In this article, The
research method in the present article is qualitative, conducted through the examination of documents related to
behavioral sciences in order to generate objective and subjective patterns by means of an artificial intelligence language
model (Midjourney Prompt) via trial and error by examining objective and subjective approaches not only based on
traditional criteria but also using the analysis of behavioral science data and their intelligent processing with the help of
artificial intelligence language models, the existing potentials in architectural design have been identified and exploited.
The main goal of this research is to improve the architectural design process by promoting a better physical and mental
human experience in spaces.
