Summary/Abstract: This article presents the issue of possible directions of evolution of the concepts of creation of conditions of perception of architecture. The paper asks the question about the directions of changes in the perception of the residential environment of the future in the con- text of decreasing participation of the architect in the design process in favor of automated digital processes. The study of this topic was carried out using a qualitative analytical method and a bibliographic research method. A conceptual apparatus borrowed from the psychology of characters in architecture was used to analyze the projects and their broad context. It allows indicating the similari- ties and differences in design based on the designer’s decision, parametric, and generated by artificial intelligence on the basis of the resulting figuration. So far, no detailed analysis of digital tools for design support has been performed in the literature in the context of the perceptual aspect of the viewer.
