AEC AI Voices Database

The 24 people worth following on AI in architecture, engineering, and construction: who they are, and what each one is best at. Curated and maintained by AEC Hub, the same way we review tools.

Design + AI exploration

Designers publishing real AI-driven design work, not just commentary.

Ismail Seleit

Associate, Foster + Partners

In-depth AI design workflows: sketch-to-visual pipelines, ControlNet, design morphing, Revit integrations.

Founder, Studio Tim Fu

AI-native design practice from a Zaha Hadid Architects alum; form studies and built-work explorations.

Stephen Coorlas

Coorlas Architecture

AI rendering and design tutorials from a working small-firm principal; adoption at practice scale.

Carlos Bañón

Founder, FORMAS.AI

Computational design research on how AI supports architectural thinking rather than replacing it.

Founder, ParametricArchitecture and PAACADEMY

Tool coverage and tutorials that make design technology accessible; one of the largest communities in the space.

Arturo Tedeschi

Computational designer and author

Algorithmic design methods and their evolution into AI-assisted workflows.

Practice + business

How AI changes firm operations, culture, and the business of design.

Founder, Practice of Architecture; 2025 AIA President

Practice innovation and new business models for architecture, with technology as a lever rather than the headline.

Randy Deutsch

FAIA, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

How technology reshapes practice culture, collaboration, and leadership; several books on exactly this.

The long view: evidence, ethics, and where the profession is actually headed.

Phil Bernstein

Yale School of Architecture; former Autodesk vice president

Technology strategy for the profession. Author of Machine Learning: Architecture in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.

Neil Leach

Professor and author

The architectural implications of AI, argued at book length and worth engaging even where you disagree.

Burcin Becerik-Gerber

Chair and Professor, University of Southern California

Human-centered and responsible AI in the built environment.

AI-powered urban simulation, climate resilience, and performance-driven design.

Who is missing?

This database grows the same way the tool directory does: by suggestion and review. If someone consistently publishes work worth a practitioner's time, we want them listed.
