We’re delighted to share that Natalia Giacomino’s article, “Artificial Intelligence and Architecture : Why AI Will Not Replace Architects,” has been published on ItalyNews.it.

In her piece, Natalia reflects on the recurring fear in architecture, fear of new tools, technologies, and obsolescence, and addresses today’s concern: Artificial Intelligence. She emphasizes that AI is not the enemy of architecture, nor will it replace architects. Rather, it is the latest tool in a long evolution that includes pencils, CAD, Rhino, and rendering software.

Natalia stresses that what clients truly need is experience, judgement, responsibility, and vision, qualities AI cannot replicate. Architecture is more than drawing; it’s about understanding space over time, anticipating human behavior, and taking responsibility for design. Creativity, she explains, is a deeply human channel shaped by intuition, observation, and cultural understanding.

AI, she notes, can be a powerful aid, helping spark ideas and start conversations,but the real work remains human. Just as architects embraced 3D modeling, Rhino, and rendering, today’s wave of AI should be mastered, not feared.

Used wisely, AI can enhance processes, collaboration, and projects, providing clients with solutions that are more thoughtful, tested, and human. Natalia concludes: architecture evolves through vision, not the tools we use.
