Ismail Seleit at [AEC] Event: How AI is Redefining Architecture?

Inaugural Edition in Paris – November 17, 2025 | 100% Free for AEC Professionals

Ismail Seleit, a leading expert in architectural innovation, will be a keynote speaker at the groundbreaking [AEC] tech event, designed to empower professionals with future-ready tools. As digital solutions and AI continue to reshape the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector, this event emerges as a critical platform for exploring radical industry shifts. The inaugural edition will take place in Paris on November 17, 2025, and is completely free for attendees. [Register here] (registration link) before seats run out!

From Control to Creativity: A Designer’s Journey with AI

For years, digital tools demanded rigid precision—exact commands, flawless dimensions, and painstaking efforts to translate chaotic ideas into pre-set templates. But this approach stifled creativity. As Seleit recounts: “I forced my ideas into software molds, and they lost their soul. We were designing for computers, not for the messy, real world that knows no perfect lines.”

Generative AI: A Design Revolution

With generative AI, the paradigm has flipped. Designers no longer need to “tame” tools they can converse with them. Seleit describes the experience: “I’d jot down an idea for a forest-inspired building, and AI would respond with breathtaking visuals, suggesting details I’d never imagined. The dialogue became creative, not mechanical.”

Rehumanizing Architecture: From “T-Square” to Organic Design

Seleit highlights a pivotal shift: “We worshipped precision until architecture became as dry as math. But AI reminds us that design is about story, feeling, and context.” He echoes architect Hassan Fathy’s critique of “T-Square architecture” devoid of emotion and argues that AI could restore architecture’s expressive power.

Natural Selection in Design: How Chaos Breeds Masterpieces

Seleit compares traditional and generative design using a biological metaphor: “Nature doesn’t follow a perfect blueprint; it thrives on random mutations. AI lets us explore unexpected possibilities, much like a forest’s wild diversity.”

Customization Tools: The Role of LoRAs in AI Enhancement

To achieve unique outcomes, Seleit emphasizes tools like LoRAs (Low-Rank Adaptations), which turn generic AI models into specialized experts: “By adding precise biases, you can make AI deeply understand your architectural vision, cutting 50% of early-stage workflow time.”
