#397 - Drafting Was Never the Job

A look back at the '90s, from Nirvana and Napster to car stereos worth more than the car, turns into a look forward at what AI leaves for architects to do. Evan, back from Autodesk University in Las Vegas, walks through the capability, alignment, and accountability framework from his workshop on building a firm's AI adoption plan. He and Cormac get into why drawings and models are the results of decisions rather than the decisions themselves, what happens to drafting, and how Cormac already uses AI as a tool on real projects.This episode is especially relevant for practicing architects and firm leaders who can't decide whether AI is a crutch or a way to spend more time on the work that matters. It pushes back on waiting for permission and asks why you chose architecture in the first place.
