Abstract: In an ever-changing society, so open to new technological developments, the field of architecture cannot be left aside. That is why the integration of technological innovation holds significant importance within the realm of architecture, empowering architects to devise designs with increased efficiency, sustainability, and creativity, all while meeting the dynamic demands of society. Embracing these advancements not only enriches the field of architecture but also plays a pivotal role in crafting environments that are safer, more sustainable, and visually compelling. With the help of artificial intelligence and supported by the developments in 3D printing or virtual reality, the future of architecture can be seen as more futuristic and in tune with the demands of a society that requires generative design, sophisticated technological solutions to special problems, such as construction in areas where constructions had not been seen before or using special materials that previous architecture could not have envisaged. This article explores the synergistic integration of cutting-edge technologies, namely 3D printing, Virtual Reality (VR) experiences, Artificial Intelligence in Architecture (AIA), and elements inspired by video games, within the realm of architecture. The convergence of these technologies offers a transformative approach to architectural design, visualization, and user engagement. 3D printing facilitates rapid prototyping and the creation of intricate structures, while VR experiences provide immersive, realistic simulations of architectural spaces. AIA contributes to data-driven design decisions, optimizing structures for functionality and sustainability. Additionally, borrowing concepts from video games introduces interactive elements and gamified experiences in architectural design, enhancing user engagement and understanding. This interdisciplinary integration holds promise for revolutionizing architectural processes, fostering innovation, and redefining the boundaries of creativity within the built environment. However, it necessitates a careful consideration of ethical concerns, including responsible AI use and the potential impact on the human-centric aspects of architectural design.
