Virtual Urban Canvases: AI-Driven Interactive Platforms for Landscape Design Education

Landscape design education historically depended on static paper drafting that failed to convey ecological dynamics and spatial light shifts; interactive AI platforms simulate microclimate, botanical growth, and urban aesthetics in real time.

Virtual Urban Canvases: AI-Driven Interactive Platforms for Landscape Design Education

Traditional landscape architecture education relied heavily on static 2D blueprints and manual physical modeling, leaving students struggling to visualize how living plant species, seasonal sunlight, and rainfall runoff evolve across decades.

Urban landscape planning requires balancing aesthetic human spaces with environmental sustainability, biodiversity preservation, and municipal stormwater regulations—a complex multi-variable puzzle that overwhelmed traditional drafting courses.

This study presents an AI-driven landscape design teaching platform that dynamically simulates ecological growth cycles, microclimate thermal effects, and pedestrian spatial flows in interactive 3D virtual environments.

Integrating generative spatial AI into landscape education equips future architects to design resilient, biodiverse, and climate-adaptive urban spaces that improve city livability and environmental sustainability.

Title

Construction and Application of a Landscape Design Teaching Platform Driven by Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Landscape design is a measure of the development of urbanization process and the improvement of people's happiness index. The process of urbanization will involve landscape design. The study and teaching of landscape design is the core teaching method of landscape design research. However, with the diversified development of landscape design schemes and the characteristics of landscape 3D schemes, traditional landscape teaching schemes can no longer meet the needs of students and teaching, which also limits the effect of students' understanding and learning of landscape design schemes. Digital technology has been widely used in the field of landscape design, and has shown good results. This research uses the artificial intelligence method of digital technology to study the relevant factors in the teaching task of landscape design. This article mainly discusses three characteristics of students' design preference, landscape layout, and landscape pattern in landscape design teaching, which are also important factors affecting landscape design.
