Architecture in the Age of Human-AI Coexistence: Designing Spaces with an Approach to Equal Rights Between Humans and Artificial Entities with a Focus on Aesthetics

With the increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into built environments, this study explores a pioneering question: how can architecture be redefined to ensure equal spatial rights for AI entities alongside humans? The objective of the research is to examine how physical spaces can be ethically and aesthetically adapted for human–AI coexistence, proposing architecture as both a speculative and functional medium for addressing this shift.The study employs a descriptive and speculative research method, combining literature review, philosophical analysis, and case-based insights to build a theoretical framework. Although there is no direct statistical population or sampling, the study conceptually addresses both human users and AI entities as future occupants of the built environment.Data were gathered through critical analysis of architectural precedents, legal texts, and philosophical discourse on posthumanism and AI rights. The validity of the research is ensured through interdisciplinary triangulation—drawing from law, ethics, architecture, and AI studies.Data analysis is qualitative and thematic, focusing on concepts such as “spatial justice,” “shared aesthetic domain,” and “algorithmic biophilia.” Through this lens, the study investigates how AI needs—like operational zones, privacy, and sensory optimization—can be addressed through architectural design.The findings suggest that equal spatial rights for AI require rethinking traditional anthropocentric design. The results affirm the hypothesis that future architecture must be inclusive, responsive, and ethically aware, accommodating both human sensibilities and AI functionality.Ultimately, the study proposes recommendations for interdisciplinary co-creation, data-driven design with privacy safeguards, and educational reform in architecture to embrace AI as both co-designer and co-inhabitant. This positions architecture as a proactive agent in shaping human–AI futures—not merely accommodating technology but shaping its ethical and aesthetic integration
