3️⃣ When AI and Architecture Went on a Date (Ft. Sushant Verma // rat[LAB]; Host: Gauri Goyal)
Episode Overview:
Welcome to Episode 3 of Breaking Complexity Podcast – Season 0: Flirting with Design Technologies! ️️
Artificial Intelligence isn’t just about algorithms crunching numbers anymore—it’s entering studios, classrooms, and construction sites, reashaping the way architects think, design, and build. But should AI be trusted as a co-creator? Or is it still just a curious experiment?
This episode dives into the romance and friction between AI and Architecture—when design intelligence meets machine intelligence.
What to Expect in This Episode?
️ First Dates with AI – Why architects are both fascinated and skeptical
️ The Good, The Bad & The Overhyped – Where AI truly helps vs. where it fails
️ The Early Career Dilemma – Should young designers depend on AI?
️ Symbiotic Workflows – When computational design meets generative AI
️ Beyond Tools – How AI could reshape education, practice & creativity
Is AI a collaborator, a disruptor, or just another passing trend in design? Hear it straight from the lens of computational design expert Sushant Verma in conversation with Gauri Goyal.
