In the editorial, the editor Thomas Lane notes a general optimism among the leading architectural firms. Despite existing market uncertainties and diverging performances across regions and sectors, architects are the most optimistic they’ve been about prospects for the year ahead since the post-covid bounce of 2022 – which is also reflected in the numbers. The editorial also focuses on AI: Many firms have established teams to develop their own AI tools for generative design, visualizations, automation, and compliance – not as a replacement for architects but as a lever for efficiency and quality.
