This book brings together international architects, scholars, and AI experts to explore one of the most pressing questions in contemporary design: what happens to architects in the age of artificial intelligence?

As AI reshapes architectural workflows-automating design tasks, generating structures, and challenging traditional notions of authorship-this book examines whether AI poses an existential threat to architects or offers new creative opportunities, and how is it perceived through the eyes of those professionals, to mitigate the existential threat and make out of it an opportunity. Through a series of essays, case studies, and theoretical reflections, contributors analyze the historical evolution of architectural roles, the impact of AI-driven tools, and the ethical and practical implications of AI in design.

This book challenges readers to rethink the architect's place in a world where machines not only assist but increasingly participate in the creative process. This book is essential reading for future architects, researchers, and lecturers who want to critically engage with AI's role in design and ensure that the future of architecture remains an active, human-driven discourse rather than a passive technological shift.
