AI drafts, the person decides

How the work splits here: AI prepares a draft, the person checks it and makes the call.

AI makes the draft

What AI does

  • Quick sun, wind and noise analysis in specialized software
  • Concept visualizations and mood boards
  • A draft design narrative and letters to agencies
  • Search across the codes and requirements you've uploaded, with a reference to the source
You check itRead it, check the facts, fix it. Without this check the draft goes nowhere.
You decide and stay responsible

What stays with the person

  • The architectural concept and how the building fits its surroundings
  • Code compliance, and your stamp and signature on the drawings
  • Permit approvals and oversight during construction
  • The conversation with the client about how they will live in the building
