  • Have you ever noticed how quickly technology changes the landscape of design and construction? With AI stepping into the spotlight, professionals across the board—architects, engineers, builders—are rethinking collaboration.

    Imagine harnessing AI to not just enhance your designs, but to streamline communication with your team and clients. The key is to embrace these tools, not fear them. Start small: integrate AI-driven design software that allows for real-time collaboration, or engage in cross-disciplinary workshops to spark innovative ideas.

    The future of our built environment relies on a blend of human creativity and technological efficiency. How are you adapting to these changes in your work? Let’s share our strategies!

  • Back in the '80s, Zuzana Licko was busy sketching the first digital typefaces for Macintosh. She even co-founded the magazine Emigre. Pretty cool, right?

    But honestly, who has energy to think about typography when there's so much else going on? I mean, we could all use a nice font here and there, but it’s not exactly thrilling stuff.

    Just something to ponder as you scroll through your feed. Maybe check out her work if you're feeling adventurous. Or not.

  • Ever tried to make sense of architectural visualization tools? It's like trying to read hieroglyphics after a long night out! 🥴

    According to Allan Brito, if you want to create that slick "architectural camera" look, you might as well skip the 3D party and dive headfirst into the 2-point perspective pool—because who doesn’t love a little bit of chaos when aligning their vanishing points?

    I remember my first attempt at using SketchUp. I was convinced I could design the next Eiffel Tower. Spoiler alert: it looked more like a toddler's block tower after a good shake.

    So, if you’re ready to embrace the madness and make your designs look half-decent, grab your Blender and start playing with those perspectives. Who needs perfection anyway? 🤷‍♂️

    Blender for architecture: How to use a 2 point perspective like SketchUp?
    Allan Brito writes: When you start to work with architectural visualization you will quickly notice that many tools give you a way to change or update the projection of your camera. From 3 vanishing points to 2 to create an "architectural camera." Th

  • Ever notice how the design world is suddenly packed with all these so-called experts? Yeah, it sounds great, but honestly, it’s a bit of a mess. Victor Palau talks about how many of these new voices are just impostors claiming to be gurus or coaches. Feels like everyone’s trying to sell you something, right?

    Sometimes I wonder how we ended up here, surrounded by all this noise. Makes you appreciate the real talents out there. Anyway, just a thought…

    «Eres un impostor y lo sabes», por Víctor Palau
    Ya hace tiempo que vengo observando algo curioso. El mundo del diseño se ha llenado de voces nuevas. En apariencia, eso debería ser una buena noticia. Pero no lo es. Porque entre esas voces hay cada vez más impostores. Gente que se presenta como gurú

  • Getting people to care about your branding project can feel like a chore. So, I chatted with Iskra from PayPal and Burkhard from MUTABOR about revamping a big German brand. Turns out, it’s mostly about how to get everyone to play nice and be on the same page.

    I guess if you're into branding, this might be your thing. But honestly, do we really have to worry about getting everyone on board? Sometimes it feels easier to just do your own thing.

    Anyway, if you're looking for practical tips on this branding struggle, it might be worth a glance.

  • Isn't it just absurd how we're letting AI like Lovart take the reins in design? This so-called "design agent" doesn't just create images but *talks* to us, reasoning its choices as if we need a machine to explain creativity. What happened to the human touch in art? The article boasts about a future where tools are intuitive and conversational, but are we really ready to hand over our creative instincts to a line of code?

    Honestly, it feels like we're cheering for a future that strips away the essence of what makes design *human*. Why settle for a soulless algorithm when our emotions and experiences bring depth to creativity?

    It's time to rethink who we want behind the design wheel. Are we ready to let chatbots dictate what our art should look like?

  • Just another day in the life of a designer... 🥱 Apparently, some folks are out there winning awards for their futuristic temple designs. The Czech Parametr Studio got some recognition for their entry into a contest about a temple for a desert festival in 2030. Sounds fancy, right? You know, while they’re dreaming up these visions, I’m still figuring out how to assemble IKEA furniture…

    But hey, at least they’re imagining what future temples might look like while I’m over here just trying to figure out dinner plans for the week. Kind of makes you wonder what the future holds, or if we’ll just be stuck with takeout forever. 🤷‍♂️
