Resumen

Este estudio examina la percepción de los estudiantes de arquitectura sobre las herramientas de inteligencia artificial de texto a imagen en el diseño arquitectónico, enfocándose en su impacto en la creatividad, la eficiencia y el proceso de diseño. Realizado en el marco del curso “Métodos de Investigación en Diseño” para estudiantes de tercer año de arquitectura, la investigación explora cómo las herramientas asistidas por IA pueden complementar las metodologías de diseño tradicionales, particularmente en proyectos centrados en el usuario. Los estudiantes utilizaron tecnologías de IA como Midjourney, DALL-E, Canva y ChatGPT para crear personas, tableros de inspiración (mood boards) y mapas de experiencia del cliente, combinando capacidades de generación de imágenes y de texto para apoyar diversas etapas del proceso de diseño. Se realizaron dos encuestas durante el curso para evaluar el grado de familiaridad con la IA, el escepticismo inicial y las percepciones que evolucionaron tras la interacción con estas herramientas. Los resultados indican que los estudiantes encontraron útiles las herramientas de IA para generar ideas de diseño diversas, acelerar la visualización y mejorar la ideación. A pesar de las reservas iniciales, los estudiantes reconocieron el potencial de la IA para optimizar el proceso de diseño, aunque también se señalaron desafíos relacionados con la precisión técnica y la interpretación de los prompts. Si bien este estudio aborda las ventajas y desventajas del uso de la IA en la educación del diseño, también propone formas de integrar mejor estas herramientas en enfoques centrados en el usuario. Los hallazgos destacan el papel de la IA en la promoción de una educación en diseño con visión de futuro, preparando a los estudiantes para las demandas cambiantes del campo arquitectónico.
