Diegesis Aig: Pedagogical Prospects of Biodigital Human Habitats
This paper introduces "AIG Diegesis" as an innovative pedagogical methodology for architectural education in digital and hybrid contexts. By integrating generative AI, discursive design, and biodigital habitat exploration, this approach addresses the challenges of preparing future architects for a rapidly evolving technological landscape. The study analyzes seven projects from an intensive digital workshop with 10 advanced design students, evaluating them across five diegetic dimensions. Results demonstrate the method's effectiveness in fostering critical thinking, speculative design, and adaptive learning in virtual environments. AIG Diegesis emerges as a powerful tool for creating multidimensional architectural narratives that bridge the gap between digital and physical realms. This research contributes to the broader discourse on AI integration in hybrid design education and offers a framework for developing more reflexive, adaptive, and ecologically conscious architectural practices in the post-digital age.
