This paper explores the applications and impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) in building envelopes and interior space design. The relevant literature was searched using databases such as Science Direct, Web of Science, Scopus, and CNKI, and 89 studies were selected for analysis based on the PRISMA protocol. This paper first analyzes the role of AI in transforming architectural design methods, particularly its different roles in the auxiliary, collaborative, and leading design processes. It then discusses AI's applications in the energy-efficient renovation of building envelopes, smart façade design for cold climate buildings, and thermal imaging detection. Furthermore, this paper summarizes AI-based interior space environment design methods, covering the current state of research, applications, impacts, and challenges both domestically and internationally. Finally, this paper looks ahead to the broad prospects for AI technology in the architecture and interior design fields while addressing the challenges related to the integration of personalized design and environmental sustainability concepts.

Featured Application: The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in architectural design can significantly enhance design efficiency, foster innovation, and improve the sustainability of building projects. AI-driven tools, such as parametric design and AI-assisted design methods, are already helping architects optimize layouts, reduce material waste, and create energy-efficient structures. As AI continues to evolve, its potential to streamline construction processes, provide predictive analytics for building performance, and enable smarter facility management could reshape the entire building lifecycle, making the construction industry more adaptive and resilient to future challenges. At present, Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is developing rapidly, and the construction industry is facing three major trends: industrialization, greening, and digital intelligence. This paper explores the application of AI technology in the field of architectural design and its impact on design efficiency, with 1810 articles screened from the Science Direct, Web of Science, Scopus, and China National Knowledge Network (CNKI) search engines, 92 of which were selected for meta-analysis and review. The results show that AI has great potential in the architectural design process, including creative development, data analysis, and problem-solving. In addition, AI has other applications throughout the building lifecycle, such as predictive analytics, construction supervision, and facility maintenance. In addition, through the discussion of traditional architectural design methods and AI-driven architectural design methods, this paper summarizes the advantages and challenges of AI technology in architectural design. Finally, through case analysis, this paper believes that the future of AI in the field of construction is full of infinite possibilities; through the correct guidance and regulation of its development, it will certainly bring more innovation and progress for the construction industry.
