SHOULD AI BE MANDATORY IN ARCHITECTURE SCHOOLS? FAU'S JOSEPH CHOMA WEIGHS IN

Florida Atlantic University's School of Architecture, led by Director Joseph Choma, is at the forefront of a critical debate: Should artificial intelligence become a mandatory part of architecture school curriculums? via a recently published story on Architizer.com that surveys four different university programs who have introduced AI into their curricula.

Choma believes the answer is a resounding yes. "AI is not a replacement for creativity but a tool that enhances it," he states, emphasizing the importance of equipping students with emerging technologies that are reshaping the design world. At FAU, the focus is on balancing human ingenuity with AI's powerful capabilities, ensuring graduates are prepared for a future where technology and design are inseparably linked.

Under Choma's leadership, FAU's School of Architecture is actively exploring how AI can push the boundaries of sustainable design, streamline workflows, and unlock new realms of creative possibility. The goal? To produce architects who are both forward-thinking and technologically fluent—ready to tackle the challenges of tomorrow.

Is AI the next essential tool for architects, and how will it redefine the way we build? Dive into the full article for FAU’s insights and why Joseph Choma believes AI is a skill no architect can afford to ignore.
