On June 8, 2026, Susanna Tradati took part in “Architects and Artificial Intelligence,” an event organized by AIAC at Spazio Oikos in Rome, where she spoke at the roundtable discussion on the role of artificial intelligence in architectural firms.
The event took place as part of the book launch for Neil Leach’s *Architecture in the Age of Artificial Intelligence* and was moderated by Luigi Prestinenza Puglisi, with the participation of professionals and researchers committed to exploring the future of the discipline.
The discussion addressed how artificial intelligence is accelerating a profound transformation of the entire design ecosystem—from research to creativity, from decision-making to knowledge production—and redefining the tools, methods, and responsibilities of architectural practice.
During the conversation, it became clear that the central issue concerns not only the operational capabilities of AI, but also the cultural and ethical implications that this transformation brings with it: what role for the architect, what room for critical judgment, and what kind of architecture we want to build in the age of artificial intelligence.
The event provided a much-needed perspective on an issue that cuts across the profession, sparking a collective reflection on the possible directions of a rapidly evolving field.
