A study on the current state of development of data-driven intelligent design and its impact on design paradigm

With the rise of big data and artificial intelligence, intelligent design platforms with data technology-driven and application scenarios have gradually become a common focus of design academia and industry, during which various intelligent design platforms have emerged, bringing profound changes to the design paradigm. This paper firstly, by collecting and analyzing related literature and cases, we elaborate the concept of data-driven intelligent design and sort out the research and application status of intelligent design tools based on the design process; then we analyze the impact of intelligent design on the design paradigm from three perspectives: design process, design object and designer, combined with the application and development status of intelligent design tools. We found that the development and application of intelligent design tools have made considerable progress, but at this stage the design process still requires the participation of human designers, so human-machine collaborative intelligence will be one of the long-term issues in the development of intelligent design tools; secondly, the application and development of intelligent design tools, while empowering the design process, also poses new challenges to the functions of designers and the adaptation of human-machine relationships.
