AI for Design Professionals
How architects, engineers, and designers can benefit from AI.
Definition
AI for design professionals helps architects, engineers, and designers work more efficiently. AI can assist with code compliance, document search, specification writing, and design exploration. Design professionals can use AI to focus more on creative work and less on routine tasks.
In Depth
Design professionals — architects, interior designers, landscape architects, and engineers — share a common set of AI needs: finding precedents from past projects, checking compliance with codes and standards, maintaining consistency across document sets, and communicating design intent to clients and contractors.
The precedent search is often the highest-value starting point. When a designer can search across every project the firm has done and find relevant details, specifications, and design approaches for their current challenge, they work faster and produce better results by building on the firm's accumulated experience.
