This was very insightful and all architects should watch. As a disruptive media, this along with algorithmic design assist will, as Tim states so well, change things very fast in our field. Thank you both.
fastness doesn't exactly mean a good thing. China has quickly developed it's cities, but as an effect lost much of their culture in the buildings, not to mention a psychological effect of helplessness when progress happens too quick. and personally, being fast in the creative process ends up with mistakes and not very well thought of design.
Every designer and architect I've talked to about or showed Midjourney to either have no interest in or very little interest in AI. I feel like I'm the only one in my peer group who sees the train coming.
Same here I have implemented ai tool in my work flow since months already but most of my callegues have no interest at all, which I find rather bizarre
Because there isn't yet enough pedagogy of this. Not all people can imagine or create new process to use it and need others to teach them. In this video you can see the typical formal parametric high-tech architecture using this new tech. But not everyone likes or needs this super expensive architecture and the AI needs settling to a more usual context. So then we will see nore people interested on it.
Dear Blessedarch, I wanted to express my gratitude for the interesting content you are creating and also let you know that your journey from the first videos till now is inspiring for me. Thank you and good luck!
Thank's to both of you. I've studied design architecture from the best masters then in Australia and later practiced parametric design, both domestic and high end. In the design master course, we were asked to explore our style in terms of a series of essays, both visually and textually. Adopting a similar process digitally, neural networks could turn the best of architects into even more undisputed masters. But their staff is likely shrink further. (I already find it crazy, that Tim is the only computational design staff on the mega-project designed for China.) Here's why: Up to the point: 21:21, it is high end artistic work, agreed. From there, however, the work process 21:21-21:55, which is much speeded up here but is the heart of parametric work, can be used to train a neural network to automatically generate parametric models from the 3D artwork. It might even be instructed to use the same set of parametric modelling tools, but more effectively. At that point, just one excellent computational human modeller like Tim will be able to replace much of the staff of not just one large high-end office, but quite a few - each catered best for their specific style palette. In return, it seems, high-end architects will be forced to define (and frequently redefine to follow data trends) their style palette in terms of one brief prompt or maybe a set of prompts. All associated with their expanding gallery of visual imagery of built and theoretical projects, so that future design inputs to neural networks can be those images as well. Here 23:45-25:13, the discussion is on how the input process combining text and imagery is already improving leaps and bounds.
So great you touched on this, and I am prepping a talk to the South African Architecture Community at the end of this month, and I know it is growing daily on how the design process is disrupted and turning upside down with this tech. I am also teaching this at Tshwane University Technology, Department of Architecture & Industrial Design. It will be supplemental to the design process for now and as the data set grows more supportive of how we design in five to ten years. It also includes chatGPT. Thanks, Tim, for sharing and following your LinkedIn channel right now. All the best.
Guess he can make a yt channel explaining like a tutorial how to obtain something architectural from an a.i. generated image! (like he briefly explained in the end of the video). It's very possible to be succesfull such tutorials!
I am very impressed with all the work that can be done now. I come from the architecture background as well. My advice to architects is to keep abreast in the field of technology. As it is a lot of jobs, get outsourced to china or any low paying country. In architecture, the technical part of the industry is outsourced.
So far, we saw images generated using AI tools. Maybe when the AI tools generate functional designs, for Client’s and Planning Approvals and generate the coordinated tender documents for construction. Also, the generated buildings constructed on site, with no requirement of an Architect with 5 to 7 years education, with some years of practice experience. Then I would say architects are no longer required. The truth be told, the emergence of AI in the industry will change the way Architects and other built environment professionals are trained and how they work. The process of project design to delivery will also change how the profession is practiced.
I really enjoyed your clip Arch, it was very informative and beginner friendly. What are your thoughts on using BlueWillow? I am looking into this new tool and I must say, I am really interested in learning all I can about this new tool
excellent, could you please share the design process of your projects? or at least one that you would like to show in detail, generally in Peru the educational methodology in architecture is very precarious, but young people are determined to take advantage of the result of the work of AI and the process and construction; that is, the organic forms built. thank you ...
interior designer can accept it because they not making art, their final product is interior design it self, and most of interior designer didn't design the whole things from scratch, they usually dont feel rip off, EVEN if other designer use their design, it just a composition, placement, chair and desk for them. even lets say they design the full shape... other designer couldn't copy it, because of the different measurement base, different other element just wont fit into the design like chair carpet etc,, and is it buildable in certain area or shape? TBH it soo different in ARTIST case... their final product being used by AI as photobash data. i mean their really FINAL data.
Hi! I am intrigued by this " new " Technology from an architectural viewpoint. Would like very much to contact this young architect. Would be highly obliged if you could assist me in informing me as to how to get in touch with him. Thank you .
"We as the "curators" of the final product and we as the inteface of controlling what results come [...]" is the polite way to say "My job is reduced to choosing between the cutest and nicest results generated by MidJourney, after being fooling around with the promtfor a while"....
ikr. these younger generation gets drawn to images that looks good without stopping and giving it much thought. its just a way to impress clients and fascinate people with algorithms and all that. i mean, they dont even know how to construct these things for god's sake.
I think it will revolutionize architecture obviously but unlike art, architecture has to be executable I mean the project has to come to life and not just some image sitting on a paper right? So for me, the architect's job is not taken just yet. But has Tim said things are getting cataclysmic and we can only hope for the best
Yeah true I too think that architect's being replaced is a worry of the future. At present AI is a tool to be used and people like TIm are creating some great and beautiful outputs from it
@@blessedarch an argument can be made that human's random/chaotic and niche requirements as individuals aren't calculable by AI. There has to be some level of human involvement
@@joedowning2428 at a certain point ..20 years, 100 years etc. yes humans idiosyncrasies replaceable by AI…the holy grail of AI is to mimic human intelligence and exceed it
It will eventually become overtaken ..20 years..40…100? Architecture it just a set of constraints contrasted against a set of requirements ..these are almost known variables that can be infinitely iterated upon. On top of this there is aesthetics which ..judging by how things are going …can be automated as well
An architects role is exactly what u said it isn’t; images/drawings on paper or screen - set of instructions and desired end result. We don’t actually build anything
The people who created AI such as Chatbot will suffer the most, since anyone can code now. As for this AI´s that generate images, it can be a serious threat to the architecture, since it generates architecture as an icon and every other building can be totally different in design, resulting in chaos. Here in our city, they created a building that was supposed to be an icon. But now before the construction will end, there are several new houses in front of it, and this "icon" can only be seen from renders and visualizations, which makes me smile, since I belive that we shouldn´t build these "icons" in the middle of nowhere, as they did in modern architecture (Mies, Wright,... and others.)
I really enjoyed this clip, you made it informative and beginner friendly😃 What are your thoughts on BlueWillow? I just started doing some research on this new tool and I must say, I would really appreciate your views and insights. Please please share
So far AI is only image generation but once it can produce the actual disciplined 3D then manual design is probably dead. And once there is an equally general fabrication technology architecture will dramatically change. The era of bricks will be over and some houses will look very different from today.
We are living unprecedented time. I love how Tim has this channel about architecture looking Indian. Because architecture is a very elitist and racist field. Congratulations
30 years ago most architects had no interest in CAD, today every major building project would struggle to be completed without it. AI is history repeating itself, new ways of doing thing will always push the conversation forward.
I can't understand how any architect/designer would even consider using AI. You devote your life and career to being a creator and now you want to let software do your work for you?! If you need help designing then maybe you're in the wrong field to begin with. How could you even charge a client a fee and then incorporate this into your work?
I can’t understand how any architect/designer can even consider using a computer? If you can’t draft by hand, you’re in the wrong field. You’re going to charge clients for something you created using a computer?
@@coolerchills With CAD/BIM, you're still using the computer and in control of every step of the process to produce exactly what you and you're client want. With AI you're relinquishing absolute control to the companies that own the software, and not to complete tedious work, but the most enjoyable part, design.
@@coolerchills sarcasm is not going to work. obviously you're missing the point. it's the thinking part that matters. the process of creativity and discovery. AI is currently a fad and people are more likely to jump on the next trendy thing. Sure it would be integrated in the future, but right NOW, its for people who are too lazy, lacks creativity or doesn't know how to do nor understand technical drawings. I bet if all architect's jump into it right now, they would have tremendous amount of problem during construction, and you end up with a final product that is not exactly what you orginally had in mind

It's really a tool that can be added into the workflow, some people will choose to use it more than others and some people may choose to never use it
@@cpdjpjnd some parties in architecture still use autocad so I wouldn't be so optimistic about everyone using this

Because you're asking designers to replace the one part of the job they most enjoy, design.
Ai will take your creativity to places you can not imagine! It is still a challenge to let AI achieve this!
