Is AI replacing Architects?

Architecture is perhaps the most complex discipline operating in more dimensions than any other coordinated human activity. However with the advancement of artificial intelligence, like every other profession, architects to are worried about the level of automation that has already taken away specific tasks from their roles.

While the ‘Humans are hooked and Machines are learning’, AI and ML are disrupting all manner of industries. Although AI has taken decades to go from crazy lab demos to a finished consumer product — today, there are immense possibilities for the industry to be augmented and enhanced by artificial intelligence. 

The earliest sense of advancement in the construction field came with Building Information Modelling (BIM) — a term that has existed since the 1970s, but came to its penultimate fore in the early 2000s, when Autodesk began popularizing the tag. 

The resulting by-product was the BIM software which is a type of intelligent 3D-modelling process used by architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) practitioners to design and construct any kind of infrastructure. BIM software includes computer-aided design (CAD software) tools and libraries specifically targeted toward architectural design and construction and goes beyond traditional drawings to generate a fully digital model. 

Over several years the BIM (Building Information Modelling) software has had a huge influence on the day-to-day operations undertaken in an architectural firm

The Parametric design or the programming architecture can scrape through several design styles in no time and can come up with a perfect Zaha style building plan — that would otherwise take years to be designed. 

Over the last few decades, BIM has transformed the roles of engineers, contractors, architects, developers, and consultants by allowing them to communicate the same language and collaborate better. It has quite literally revolutionized both the design process itself and the designs themselves. 

BIM software produces an immense volume of big data, so much so that most architecture firms and their consulting partners don’t know what to do with them. Once AI permeated the technological landscape and bled over into every imaginable business use case — the industry learned to create value by collecting, organizing and storing building-related data (collected from models, simulations, etc.) It is now widely believed, that the scope for innovating the most optimal designs for each construction project becomes completely conceivable.

AI BIM = Optimized [Affinity]

When ‘parametric design’ technology is combined with AI that can actually use 6D BIM-models, and can record the whole life cycle of the building — it can come up with better decisions and insights into project execution by learning from the mistakes of the past.

Today, there are machines that can run through an infinite number of datasets, simulate for each model, pick the best option, verify its efficiency and continue to learn and communicate when introduced with the new autonomous building technology.

AI is the next frontier for architecture
Changes in the demographics, technology and business models have opened up a plethora of far-reaching opportunities for architects to explore areas like urban housing in more ecosystems than ever before.

Let’s have a look at some architectural products augmented and enhanced by AI.

Road Printers
The six meters wide machine that can pave entire streets at once. Naturally, the stones fall on the road directly into the appropriate pattern. The device is simple to handle and can finish the work in no time.

Concrete 3D Printers
3D printing as a core method to fabricate buildings or construction components. At a construction scale, it will have a wide variety of applications within the private, commercial, industrial and public sectors. The concrete 3D printers enable faster construction, lower labor costs, increased accuracy, greater integration of function and less waste produced.

Brick Laying Machine
The bot can lay between 300 to 400 bricks an hour, compared to a human which can only lay around 60 to 75 bricks an hour. It works 5 times faster than a human and can alleviate the labor shortage.

Brick Laying & 3D Printing Concrete Drone
Though in its infancy, researchers from Imperial College London have taken the first step towards making this a reality with their work on a drone that is able to ‘3D print’ while it is in flight.

However efficient bots may be, it will always lag in understanding the personality and the character of the customer — and this is where humans intervene.

Architects with the help of AI can create something different from the one-size-fits-all range of products already in the marketplace, to create more personalized solutions that perfectly align with user needs — but it is the imperfections in our creative decisions that truly makes something personal and truly unique.

What is your opinion about AI in architecture? Do you think AI will either augment or eliminate every profession in the near future?

Sales Applications Are Disrupting More Than Just Sales

Sales success today isn’t about luck or lofty goals—it’s about having the right tools in your team’s hands, wherever they go. Following our earlier in-depth exploration of sales technology, we will now examine how cutting-edge sales apps are becoming the backbone of modern industries, transforming complex workflows into seamless, growth-driving machines.

From retail to healthcare, logistics to real estate, businesses are deploying sales applications to enhance operational transparency, cut redundant tasks, and build intelligent sales ecosystems. These tools are not only digitizing workflows—they’re driving growth, improving engagement, and redefining how field teams operate.

Lead Ecosystems: Unified visibility across channels

One app. Five workflows. Zero friction.

A leading insurance brand relaunched their app—a sleek, powerful sales companion that’s turning everyday agents into top performers.

No more paperwork. More time to sell.

Here’s what changed:

  • Every visit is tagged, tracked, and followed through. Renewals? Never missed. Leads? Fully visible.
  • Attendance and reimbursements went on autopilot. No more manual logs. No more chasing approvals.
  • New business and renewals are tracked in real time, with accurate forecasting that sales leaders can finally trust.
  • Dashboards are clean, configurable, and useful—insights that move the business, not just report on it.
  • Seamless Integrations. API connectivity with Darwin Box, IMD Master Data, and SSO authentication for a unified experience.

The result? A field team that moves faster, sells better, and works smarter.

Retail: Taking Orders from the Frontline—Smartly

Field sales agents in retail, especially FMCG, used to rely on gut instinct. Now, with intelligent sales applications:

  • AI recommends what to upsell or cross-sell based on previous order patterns
