AI is transforming architecture, but does that mean replacing the architect?In this episode of Designing Forward, Hamid Hasanzade is joined by Alexander Josephson, Co-founder of PARTISANS, and Arturo Tedeschi, architect and computational designer, for a conversation about AI, technology, creativity, and the changing role of architects.They explore why architects need to take greater control of the technologies shaping their profession, how AI could move beyond generic image generation toward tools built around an architect’s own knowledge and vision, and why the most valuable parts of architecture may remain the ones that are difficult to automate.The conversation also looks at the evolution from computational and parametric design to AI-driven workflows, authorship and originality in the age of generative AI, and a future where technology becomes increasingly invisible, allowing architects to focus more deeply on ideas, experimentation, and architectural quality.In this episode: Will AI replace architects? Taking back control of architectural technology AI beyond image generation The future of computational and parametric design Creativity, authorship, and originality Building AI around an architecture studio’s own knowledge How the role of the architect is changing Why architects should become more entrepreneurial Learn with PAACADEMY:Designing Forward is supported by PAACADEMY, the educational platform by Parametric Architecture, where architects and designers can learn directly from leading professionals working across AI, computational design, parametric architecture, digital fabrication, and emerging design technologies.Explore our upcoming live workshops and learn new tools, workflows, and design methodologies through hands-on sessions led by architects and designers from around the world.Explore Upcoming PAACADEMY Workshops: https://paacademy.com/courses/upcomin...

AI is moving beyond generating beautiful images. It can now model, operate design software, make decisions, and increasingly participate in the architectural process itself. So what happens to architects when AI becomes an active collaborator, or even an autonomous agent?In this episode of Designing Forward ↗️, Hamid Hasanzade sits down with architect and Studio Tim Fu founder Tim Fu to explore the next era of AI in architecture.They discuss the rapid evolution from generative AI to agentic AI, the arrival of Astra, AI-powered workflows inside Rhino, AutoCAD and Revit, and Tim’s vision for integrating intelligent agents throughout architectural practice. Tim also shares how Studio Tim Fu has evolved from early AI experimentation into a growing architectural practice working on large-scale international projects, alongside the development of STF Intelligence, his new technology venture focused on AI tools for architects.The conversation goes deeper into one of the biggest questions facing the profession: if AI can eventually model, visualize, document, analyze building codes, optimize designs, and even participate in creative decision-making, what will remain uniquely human about being an architect?They also discuss the “Instagrammification” of architecture, AI-generated design culture, parametric thinking in the age of AI, what Tim looks for when hiring the next generation of designers, and why architects who understand computational and algorithmic thinking may become even more valuable, not less.Learn with Tim Fu at PAACADEMYExplore Tim Fu’s Parametric Intelligence 2.0 course: https://paacademy.com/course/parametric-intelligence-2-0/Explore Tim Fu’s courses and profile: https://paacademy.com/creative/tim-fuDesigning Forward ↗️ is a podcast by Parametric Architecture, previously known as PA Talks, featuring conversations with architects, designers, technologists, and creative minds shaping a brighter, more creative tomorrow.Hosted by Hamid HasanzadeFounder & CEO, Parametric Architecture + PAACADEMYGuest: Tim FuArchitect & Founder, Studio Tim FuSubscribe for more conversations at the intersection of architecture, design, AI, technology, and culture.
In the 72nd episode of PA Talks, we travel to Tulum, Mexico for the 20th Anniversary of AZULIK. Eduardo Neira, known as Roth, welcomes us into a world where architecture becomes an extension of nature itself.Neira is the founder of Roth Architecture and the creative mind behind AZULIK, SFER IK, and Uh May, projects internationally recognized for their organic and immersive spatial language.
