Exploring Craft and AI: A Paradigm Shift in Design
In an era where AI reshapes industries, the human touch in crafting experiences and spaces is under scrutiny. This reflection draws inspiration from Christopher Alexander’s insights, emphasizing the dynamic relationship between humans and their environments.
Key Takeaways:
- Language Shapes Perception: Our words can mislead us, as illustrated by the “explosive little traps” in design terminology.
- Structural Coupling: Francisco Varela’s idea that organisms and environments co-evolve highlights the need for interaction in design—a lesson for architects and designers as we integrate AI in creation.
- Limitations of AI: While AI can generate designs based on linguistic patterns, it lacks the experiential learning that comes from physical interactions with space.
