In this episode, Bill Allen from Chaos explains why the bigger shift is what happens when AI starts working inside Revit, Rhino and SketchUp.\nThey get into AI rendering, agentic tools, automated construction drawings and the move from modelling to render, to rendering to model. Bill also explains why architects still need to understand the “why” behind their work, what practices should look for when hiring, and why students should learn how to learn instead of becoming too attached to one piece of software.\nBill Allen on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/billallenarchitecture/ \nChaos: https://www.chaos.com/\nArchitecture Social is where architects and designers find honest career advice, insight from practice, and live roles worth applying for: https://architecturesocial.com/\nThe fastest way to get hired is to be better at the things practices actually ask for.
