Historic architecture is a reflection of its time. Decades or centuries later, studying the aesthetics, politics, and culture of the era offers vital clues to help us understand how and why our heritage was shaped and realized.

Are AI design tools about to replace human designers? Most of us would assume they are not quite there yet. But: could they be getting closer? While AI can certainly generate strong designs instantly, it often misses the mark on the finer details that a human designer would catch. If you, for example, ask an AI to draw a picture of a hand—it might get a general idea, but it might not capture the subtle details that make a hand look real.

Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design. One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real.
