Artificial intelligence is already reshaping architecture—often quietly, unevenly, and with little guidance from the profession itself.In Architecture and AI, Gary Unger cuts through the hype and fear to examine how AI is entering architectural practice: where it adds real value, where it threatens traditional roles, and where firms risk falling behind without realizing it.Drawing on decades of professional experience, real-world project workflows, and emerging AI tools, the book examines how architects can use AI to enhance design thinking, productivity, and decision-making—without surrendering authorship, judgment, or relevance.This is neither a technical manual nor a futurist fantasy. It is a practical, professional-level look at what is changing now, what is coming next, and what architects should be doing about it.Inside the book:How AI is already altering design, documentation, and client expectationsWhy small and mid-sized firms face different AI risks than large practicesThe hidden ways AI shifts value away from architects—and how to respondWhere human judgment still clearly outperforms automationWhat firms can do today to stay competitive without over-investingHow to recoup services using AI lost to othersWritten for architects, engineers, firm leaders, and anyone working at the intersection of design, technology, and professional practice, Architecture and AI offers a clear-eyed roadmap through one of the profession's most disruptive moments.
