Exploring Art and Technology Trends in Digital Architecture and Their Impact on Cultural Interactions

Abstract

This article explores contemporary trends in art and technology within digital architecture and examines their impact on cultural interactions. Digital architecture, utilizing advanced technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and 3D printing, has enabled the design of interactive and dynamic spaces that play a significant role in fostering cross-cultural connections and preserving local identities. The study demonstrates that digital technologies in architecture can enhance spatial experiences for users, facilitating deeper connections with cultural values and local heritage. These trends, especially in public and cultural spaces, allow architects to create environments where cultural values are dynamically and contemporarily represented through visual and interactive elements. However, the study also highlights challenges, such as potential cultural authenticity loss and simplification of indigenous symbols. Additional limitations include the high costs and technical complexities involved in implementing digital technologies. Ultimately, the article presents recommendations for future research, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary and empirical studies on the cultural and social effects of digital architecture. Such research could contribute to improving the design of cultural and interactive spaces, strengthening digital architecture's role as an effective tool for cultural transmission and preservation.
