Under the backdrop of digital technology-driven educational reform, undergraduate teaching of intelligent space design in the Environmental Art major faces practical challenges such as insufficient integration of technology and weak practical orientation. Augmented Reality (AR) technology, with its core advantages of immersive interaction and seamless blending of virtual and real environments, offers an effective solution to overcome traditional teaching limitations and construct innovative pedagogical models. Based on the educational objectives of undergraduate Environmental Art programs and focusing on the core requirements of intelligent space design instruction, this paper systematically analyzes the significance and challenges of constructing teaching frameworks empowered by AR technology. It proposes targeted strategies for development across five dimensions—device compatibility, curriculum reconstruction, faculty enhancement, tiered instruction, and evaluation systems—aiming to enhance teaching quality in intelligent space design and cultivate interdisciplinary design talents capable of meeting evolving industry demands. The study provides both theoretical references and practical insights for advancing undergraduate education in this field.
