Interior architect Murat Yüksel has brought the professional use of generative AI into architectural design processes and also leads the way in industry education. Technology does not replace creativity — it amplifies it. Here are the three pillars of my vision for AI in design.

1. Industry Training and Seminars

Through collaborations with the Kocaeli Chamber of Interior Architects and universities, I deliver seminars focused on "hotel design" and "AI integration". My aim is to introduce technology to younger colleagues as a tool, not a threat.

The question designers ask most in these sessions is: "Will AI take our jobs?" My answer is clear: the designer who uses AI will replace the one who does not. The skill lies in directing the tool correctly.

2. MuratTools and Digital Workflows

With scripts such as "Mezura" that I developed for 3ds Max and Python-based architectural applications, I digitise workflows and raise productivity. Automating repetitive technical work frees the designer's time for what truly matters — creativity.

On large-scale projects such as DoubleTree by Hilton Afyonkarahisar, the role of digital tools is critical: fast iteration, error-free quantity take-off and consistent documentation protect the project's budget and schedule targets.

3. A Vision for the Future of Design

From the transformation of visual expression to AI art, I place technology at the centre of creativity across a broad perspective. Producing dozens of alternatives within minutes at the concept stage with generative AI enables a richer dialogue with the client.

But technology alone is not enough. It is still the experienced designer's eye that filters what AI produces and selects what suits the space and the user. The future lies where human intuition meets machine speed.
