This edition looks at the evolution of the architecture profession and its services standing at the brink of being automated by technology. While it’s true the architects are growing in number globally across all the countries; the catching pace of technology is mind-numbing if not less.

While we continue to question and create a better built environment through our manual or computer aided tools, the process we follow/implement is being mapped in ways unprecedented.

The parametric tools which generate designs for us are now equipped with more knowledge learning from the patterns of how architecture designs are developed. While these software have become simpler, a home design is almost a click away from a common person may be in less than a decade’s time.

If we consider how quick the interfaces are adapting to serve people, a vast chunk of starter to moderately customized projects across the world can be built through such tools in minutes.

That brings us to an existential question if nonetheless.
