This is like a detailed weather report for how architects are using AI: it doesn’t design buildings itself, but tells you who is using AI, for what, what works, and what worries them, so you can plan your own AI roadmap.
Architecture firms and design software vendors lack clear, data-backed insight into how AI is actually being adopted in practice—what use cases matter, where the skills gaps are, and what business risks and opportunities AI creates. The survey consolidates real-world sentiment and usage patterns to guide investment, training, and tooling decisions.
If CHAOS repeatedly runs and publishes these surveys, they can build a proprietary longitudinal dataset on AI adoption in architecture, combined with their existing customer base and ecosystem. That mix of domain-specific data, brand trust, and integration opportunities into their visualization/simulation tools becomes a defensible insight and product moat.

Compared with generic AI-in-construction or cross-industry AI surveys, this work is deeply verticalized into architecture and interior design. It reflects the workflows, tools, and constraints of practicing architects and visualization specialists—making it more actionable for that audience and for vendors building AI-assisted design, visualization, and simulation tools.
