Abstract :This study maps scientific output at the intersection of artificial intelligence, architecture, and music using a bibliometric and systematic approach. A comprehensive search conducted on the Web of Science Core Collection on October 11, 2025, yielded 6,168 records from the period 2015-2025. Descriptive metrics, citation and collaboration networks, and keyword clusters were analyzed using Bibliometrix and VOSviewer. Following the PRISMA protocol, 21 publications meeting the inclusion criteria were included in the qualitative review. The findings reveal a steady increase in publication volume, a high level of co-authorship, and a production geography focused on China and the United States. Resource distribution is concentrated in engineering and acoustics journals, with deep learning and machine learning at the center of the conceptual network. Thematically, four axes have emerged: parametric and generative acoustic design, soundscape and urban environment, AI-assisted installations, and media architecture, as well as architectural/room acoustics. The study shows that the field has transitioned from an early exploration phase to application-focused maturity, and that artificial intelligence has become a design actor transforming the spatial auditory experience. Additionally, it is recommended that future research be deepened through experimental studies along these four thematic axes and supported by broader bibliometric analyses based on multiple databases.
