"This permanence brings with it a unique set of challenges: architects must design spaces that impact collective life, often under tight deadlines, limited budgets, and significant pressure. In addition to navigating complex regulations and coordinating construction, architects face the misconception that design is simple, or that anyone could do it. The constant balancing act between quality, cost, and speed often leads to sacrifices - whether in time, health,"
"Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector still relies on fragmented software and workflows, many conceived in another era, demanding exhaustive attention at every stage of the process. Although these tools have been used to build some of the most advanced structures in the world, they have not kept pace with the growing complexity of projects or the urgency of contemporary deadlines. The result is all too familiar: long working hours, overburdened teams,"
Buildings endure for decades and shape landscapes and occupants' lives, creating heightened responsibility for architects. Architects must design spaces that impact collective life while meeting tight deadlines, limited budgets, complex regulations, and construction coordination. Misconceptions that design is simple or that anyone can do it add pressure on professionals. The persistent trade-off among quality, cost, and speed frequently forces sacrifices in time, health, or project integrity. Repeated compromises erode the profession and lower society's appreciation of design's value. The AEC sector relies on fragmented, often outdated software and workflows that demand exhaustive attention. The result includes long hours, overburdened teams, and little room for creative reflection. Artificial intelligence emerges.
