Tabulla: The Latest Architecture and News

Will Artificial Intelligence replace architects in their roles? In the May 2023 edition of Building magazine, Thomas Lane suggests that AI has the potential to automate up to 37% of the tasks typically carried out by architects and engineers. This automation, though, is likely to target routine and less creative tasks, allowing professionals to concentrate on more strategic and imaginative aspects of their work.

Just as Revit and 3D software did not replace architects but only transformed their workflows, the same principle holds for AI tools. AI is poised to bring about new tasks, such as AI management, alongside existing responsibilities, signaling a shift in how architects work.

Maximalism is an artistic movement that stands in stark contrast to minimalism. While minimalism famously preaches "Less is more," maximalism embraces the opposite mantra of "More is more."

Within the broader context of the postmodern movement, which encompasses the social and aesthetic shifts occurring after World War II, maximalism can be characterized by its rejection of rigid values and rules. Instead, it celebrates imprecision, embraces diversity, blurs the lines between reality and fantasy, encourages spontaneity, and champions freedom of expression.
