As our tools become more capable, the most important skill may not be the ability to produce more creative options, but exercising good judgment to select among them. AI can already generate countless ideas for design and form in a matter of seconds. That in itself is not design. It is possibility.

When options multiply, judgment becomes the actual work. Why this plan and not another? Why this proportion, this circulation, this relationship between spaces? The answers are rarely found in the speed of production. They are found in understanding the greater context of function and, thus, people.

Technology is expanding the field of exploration. It can show us versions we might not have drawn on our own. But it cannot (yet) decide what is most appropriate or meaningful and cannot be held responsible for one's decisions. That requires a point of view.

In architecture and interior design, I see greater importance placed on skills that allow one to look at a thousand solutions and recognize the one that fits.
