A new survey has launched exploring the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in architectural practice, across design, written communication and marketing, project administration, and documentation.
The survey, conducted by RMIT University’s School of Architecture and Urban Design and funded by the Architects Registration Board of Victoria, is seeking responses from people working within, or connected to, architecture. Responders do not need to use AI in order to participate, and all responses will remain anonymous.
The research aims to fill a knowledge gap in the kind of AI tools architectural practitioners are using, how AI-generated work is being checked and verified, and what AI adoption means in terms of architects’ professional responsibilities.
The findings from the survey are expected to be published next year, in order to build an “understanding [of] how AI is changing architectural practice, and inform practical guidance for architects and future regulatory responses,” the survey’s organisers note on their website.
The survey can be completed online until 15 November.
