How AI Is Changing Design, Visualization, and Client Communication
AI in architecture is changing how firms design, visualize, and communicate ideas. In this episode of the EntreArchitect Podcast, Kacper Staniul, founder and CEO of MyArchitectAI, joins Mark R. LePage to explore what this shift really means for architects today. Together, they break down why AI-powered rendering tools are becoming more accessible, especially for small and growing firms.
Kacper shares the challenges architects face with traditional rendering software and how AI can remove cost and time barriers. He explains how AI supports creativity rather than replacing it. As a result, architects can focus more on design intent and client relationships instead of technical bottlenecks.
Kacper looks ahead to a future of interactive visualization and real-time design feedback. He encourages firm owners to embrace AI as a strategic advantage, not a threat. This conversation offers practical insight for architects who want to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving profession.
