The IMPACT of AI within the Architecture Profession, ft. Nathalie Rozencwajg at NAME Architecture

AI in architecture is not just about fast images or clever prompts. It raises practical questions about design judgement, clients, portfolios, education and how people use new tools with purpose.

Stephen Drew speaks with Nathalie Rozencwajg of NAME Architecture about ChatGPT, Midjourney, visual production, client expectations, architecture education and what candidates and practices should understand as AI becomes part of design culture.

The conversation covers:

• How architecture professionals are reacting to ChatGPT and Midjourney
• Why AI image tools still depend on judgement, precedent and context
• Where AI may support early design exploration
• How candidates can use research to tailor CVs and portfolios
• Why architecture education needs to teach critical use of new tools
