About this video:
Everyone is using AI to make their work look different. The result? Everything is starting to look the same. In this video I break down five architectural drawings that won the Archisource Drawing of the Year awards across five different categories — and show you the one decision behind each one that no AI workflow would have arrived at on its own. Not because the technology couldn’t generate something similar, but because each of these drawings required a point of view that existed before the image did. This isn’t a video against AI. It’s a video about what AI cannot replace — and where the most original architectural representation is actually happening right now.
✓ What You’ll Learn
☑ Why using AI for representation is making everyone’s work look more similar, not more distinct
☑ What the drawings that actually pushed architecture forward have in common — and why they still feel original today
☑ Why originality in architectural drawing is a medium decision, not a software decision
☑ How to turn your documentation and process into the final drawing itself
☑ Why mixing technical precision with hand-drawn imperfection produces stronger drawings than either alone
☑ What human trace means in a render — and how to add it intentionally
☑ How to layer micro-stories into a single image that does real architectural work
☑ Why the form of an image and its argument should be inseparable
☑ Where to find architectural representation that is actually pushing the conversation forward right now
