Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know specific software to take this course?
You should be familiar with at least one design tool (AutoCAD, Revit, Rhino, SketchUp, or similar). The course covers AI tools that integrate with these platforms, plus standalone AI tools that work independently.
Is this for architects only, or also interior and landscape designers?
The course covers architectural, interior, and landscape design applications. Lessons on visualization, sustainable design, biophilic principles, and client communication apply across all spatial design disciplines.
Will AI replace architects?
No. The RIBA AI Report 2025 found that 90%+ of architects reject the idea that AI can replace professional judgment. AI handles repetitive tasks — generating options, rendering concepts, checking compliance — so you can focus on creative problem-solving and client relationships.
Are the AI tools in this course free?
The course covers a mix of free and paid tools. Midjourney and some generative platforms require subscriptions, but many tools offer free tiers or trials. The prompting techniques you'll learn work with any AI assistant.
