“Architecture does not improve when decisions are made faster, but when they are made better.”
In his opinion piece for EL ESPAÑOL, Luis Vidal reflects on the role of Artificial Intelligence in architecture and on one essential idea: technology can broaden our capacity for analysis, but it cannot replace the judgment, sensitivity or responsibility of the architect.
AI allows us to work with more information, reduce uncertainties and optimize processes. But architecture remains a profoundly human discipline: it interprets places, communities, memories, climates, materials and ways of living.
Because to design is not merely to solve a technical problem. It is to decide with knowledge, experience and commitment.
Artificial Intelligence can support. It can inform. It can open new possibilities. But it is still the architect who gives meaning to the space we inhabit.
