Should Architecture Get Less Technical as AI Gets More Powerful?

Hassan Ragab makes the case for a more humanistic, less technical approach to generative AI in architecture. He argues that while architects have long adapted new tools to push the built environment, generative AI risks a reductive process that distances practice from the human element. Instead, the architect and conceptual artist sees an underestimated chance to interrogate the core philosophy of what architects do and why, with an eye on past and future.
