We’re seeing a lot of AI generated content recently that is heavily focused on aesthetics only, which is understandable since programs such as Midjourney are image based generators. In this video, I wanted to offer some thoughts on architecture that may help refocus your AI pursuits, or at least offer a new perspective on how I believe the practice of western architecture needs to evolve.

As architects and designers, it is our responsibility to constantly assess our practice to ensure appropriate trajectories are being pursued. I’d like to encourage more of us to explore a natural approach to materials and techniques, and emergent fabrication technologies can enable us to produce organic architectures that are analogous to ancient structures and building techniques.
