The application of artificial intelligence in environmental design has entered a stage of rapid development, artificial intelligence in environmental design tools, methods, expression, as well as the expansion of design content, the richness of design language and other aspects have produced a wide range of changes. From the perspective of artificial intelligence in environmental design, this paper discusses the future trend and possible revolutionary changes of artificial intelligence in environmental design. This paper combs the application of artificial intelligence in environmental design, analyzes the design works with wide influence, and discusses the value and significance of artificial intelligence in applied environmental design, as well as its possible future development trend. The application of artificial intelligence in environmental design is a great change from design means to design content. From the interactive ability, virtual ability, to the integration of big data, all are new opportunities and challenges brought by the ability of artificial intelligence to environmental design. In response to such changes, environmental art design practitioners should establish a more systematic, three-dimensional and data-based design activity system and a broader design theory system.
