@archademia: I’m not against AI. But only in the right places. I don’t trust it to design. I don’t want it drawing for me, that’s the bit I enjoy. But if it can take the worry off my plate, the nagging feeling mid-design that I’ve forgotten something, the admin side, the pile of tasks that have nothing to do with why I became an architect? Be my guest. It all sits under one word for me: efficiency. Here are 5 areas where AI genuinely earns its place in an architect’s workflow (with human review, always 🚨): 1. Scanning consultant reports. Heritage, structural, ecology. Drop the PDF in, get a checklist of constraints and recommendations out. No more missing clause 4.2 of a 60-page report the night before a deadline. 2. Interrogating planning policy and regs. Local plans and regs that seem to shift every other week. Ask what applies to your project, get a referenced answer. Stops things falling through the cracks. 3. Self-policing. Using something like Claude Projects, create context, feed it your instructions and you can monitor what’s outstanding, what’s been promised, what’s at risk. It’ll spit out a proper visual dashboard, not another spreadsheet you’ll never open. That nagging “have I forgotten something” feeling, gone. 4. Schedules. Accommodation, finishes, areas. Cross-referenced from your drawings, not retyped from them. Data handling is a no brainer with AI. 5. Meeting minutes and actions. Two-hour client meeting used to cost you three hours. Transcribe, summarise, assign. Done before you’re back at your desk. None of this is replacing you. It’s the same principle that made Revit worth learning. The quicker you can produce, the longer you get to design. Oh and … AI for Architects, a course coming soon to ArchAdemia!
