Martin Evlogiev's research focuses on the intersection of architecture and advanced digital technologies. His work explores how artificial intelligence, building information modeling (BIM), and 3D visualization tools can transform architectural design processes and education. He investigates both the technical applications and ethical implications of these technologies in architectural practice. His research spans from practical software implementation challenges to broader questions about how digital tools reshape creative workflows and professional standards in architecture.

His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on artificial intelligence applications in architecture, with particular attention to visualization techniques, ethical considerations, and design automation. He also conducts research on educational aspects of technology adoption in architectural curricula and explores specialized applications of BIM and virtual reality in architectural practice.
