Summary
Tricia Esser, retired CEO of architecture firm KTGY, argues that AI and new technological tools will enhance architects' capabilities rather than replace them. She emphasizes that architecture is fundamentally a relationship-based business requiring deep understanding of client needs, and that technology serves as a tool to help designers solve problems more effectively, not eliminate their role.

Esser knows it sounds a bit crazy, but she believes that all these new tools — including widely discussed and feared artificial intelligence — will only make architects better, not slash their need or value.
