AI is Shaping Architecture’s New Reality Faster Than We Expected.

Architect Magazine: “That is the present; now, let’s look to the future,” declared Akhil Hemanth, a designer and AI guru at HKS. This statement elicited a collective laugh of surprise from the audience. Had we not been witnessing technology’s future, as we thought, but rather its current capabilities?

Woah this is really interesting and the possibilities these platforms have to take off too is really exciting. I think that this is still going to require many iterations and changes before the program can produce drawings that just get built. But I also wonder what this means for engineers and drafts people who are now out of a job on an Ai platform that produces the desired content in minutes instead of days. How will this change our workforce? For someone who is looking to utilize all of these skills for employment to see that AI is now capable of producing basically the same thing it is concerning. But I also ask how we can utilize these tools to improve our world and lifestyles. Perhaps having AI produce the first pass then allowing the human touch to be added through the iterations. I really do not know how these tools will change our industries and how our world will start to look but ultimately it's happening so let's see.
