Smart Buildings Technology: AI and Architecture and Engineering: Programmed for Success
Laura Paciano, vice president of marketing at Dallas-based TestFit, has high hopes for AI in the design process. The company’s generative design platform uses AI to analyze programmatic and zoning requirements for early-state multifamily residential projects, outputting multiple design options from which architects and developers can identify optimal solutions. “This is going to get you 80% of the way in seconds,” Paciano says.
Even if AI tools replace some of the labor required for administrative and technical tasks, such as bookkeeping, spec writing, and image rendering, deploying them will still require talented professionals. Paciano likes to quote TestFit’s chief revenue officer Kyle Bernhardt: “[AI] is like the Ironman suit. It’s great, but you still need Tony Stark in there to work it."
