Rise of AI and impact on architects
90% of architects will lose their jobs as artificial intelligence takes over the design process, according to designer Sebastian Errazuriz (link below). Wallgren Arkitekter and BOX Bygg have created a tool that generates adaptive plans.
I do not disagree with the assessment. The profession combines art with optimization problems. Consider the task of desigining a house. Give it to AI - it can search the internet for retro or modern ideas, analyze the common design patterns that is in vogue, implement design features that complement climatic conditions, surrounding landscape and ofcourse maximize use of limited land - say between greens and concrete. While mathematics is solving for optimization, AI + Internet add the "art" in the whole process.
