À propos de cet audio
This volume offers a deeply personal and historically grounded meditation on the shifting tools and values of architectural practice. From the tactile intimacy of hand-drawn lines to the precision of CAD and the collaborative power of BIM, the author traces the profession’s journey through technological revolutions that have challenged identity, authorship, and moral responsibility.
Now, as artificial intelligence enters the studio, the book confronts the newest frontier—not with fear, but with conscience. It argues that while machines can optimize form, only humans can uphold dignity, empathy, and ethical restraint. Through vivid anecdotes and philosophical insight, the author reaffirms architecture as a moral act: one that listens to climate, community, and the quiet wisdom of materials.
This is not just a chronicle of tools—it’s a call to reflection. A reminder that the architect’s true role is not to produce, but to judge; not to accelerate, but to care. In an age of infinite variation, the book insists that the most important question remains: Should this be built at all?
