AI as the Tool, Humanity as the Craft | Designing in 5D Podcast

AI is moving fast, and our industry is trying to keep pace. Most designers, builders, and architects already know they need to bring AI into their workflow—but the big question is how to adopt it without losing the craft, the communication, and the connection that make projects successful. In this session, Jodi Peterman and Jenna Gaidusek open an honest conversation about where AI truly supports the work: organizing information, reducing repetitive tasks, and freeing teams to focus on human insight and decision-making. It’s a practical look at finding the balance - not choosing sides - as our tools evolve.
