Dear PA reader,

AI is evolving from mere assistant to creative collaborator, sketching, iterating, and imagining alongside architects, so we’ve curated the ultimate list of AI tools reshaping the future of design. We’ve also curated a list of visionary creators on Instagram who are pushing the boundaries of AI and design, perfect for your next dose of inspiration.

At PAACADEMY, the Top 10 Architectural AI Courses opens the door for designers ready to master prompt-based creativity and algorithmic form-finding. With Living Sketches, the humble pencil sketch makes a comeback, only this time AI steps in to bring those quick lines to life.

Meanwhile, Best Tools for Sustainable Architectural Workflows explores the tech driving low-carbon design decisions, from daylight simulations to embodied-energy tracking.
