Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) is changing design processes, enabling the creation of unprecedented forms that challenge traditional aesthetics. However, this pursuit of defamiliarization through AI-driven innovation raises critical concerns about the psychological well-being of users and the erosion of cultural identity. This paper addresses the research gap concerning the balance between technological advancement and cultural familiarity in architecture. By exploring historical and contemporary examples of architectural hybridity, the paper proposes a systematic methodology for developing hybrid architectural aesthetics that harmonize innovation with cultural resonance. Through an interdisciplinary approach incorporating neuroscience, cultural theory, and architectural practice, the study underscores the imperative of integrating AI technologies ethically and sustainably to foster environments that are both intellectually stimulating and emotionally comforting.
