A survey of nearly 800 architects and designers reveals widespread experimentation and real time savings, but integration remains very limited.
A survey conducted by Chaos in partnership with Architizer, involving nearly 800 architects and designers worldwide, paints a nuanced picture of the adoption of AI within the profession. Nearly two-thirds of respondents — 64 per cent — say they have experimented with AI tools in their day-to-day work, but only one in five firms has actually integrated them into several of its processes. For many, AI remains in limbo: they try it out, return to it, but never fully commit to it.
Yet the reported benefits are far from trivial. Among current users, 86 per cent report time savings or a faster workflow, a third cite a major improvement in their efficiency, and more than half save at least five hours a week. In certain roles, such as video editing and content production, the reported time savings exceed fifteen hours a week.
Usage remains concentrated in the early stages of a project: visualising concepts, text-to-image tools, enhancing renderings, and presentation materials. The barriers cited by those who have not yet taken the plunge are practical in nature — reliability and accuracy of outputs, time and budget constraints, and difficulties integrating the technology into existing workflows — compounded by concerns regarding the originality and authorship of creations. Nevertheless, between 73 and 93 per cent of respondents intend to increase their use of AI in the coming year.
