Design Insider Forum #2: Is AI the Future of Design? If not, what is?

We had an inspiring time at our second Design Insider Forum, discussing the opportunities and challenges of AI in design. Here are standout insights from each of our incredible speakers:

🌟 Gavin Hughes, Design Director at HLW, shared that AI’s reliance on historical data can risk creating creative echo chambers. He emphasised the importance of drawing inspiration from diverse sources like art, travel, and human emotion to keep creativity thriving.

🌟 Ana Rita Martins, Sustainability Lead at MCM Architecture + Design, highlighted that a single AI prompt can have the same carbon impact as a two-minute hot shower. She discussed how AI can drive sustainability through optimised building systems and smarter material selection.

🌟 Evgeny Rodionov, Product Lead for Data & Generative AI at AtkinsRéalis, explored how tools like MidJourney and digital twins are reshaping workflows, enabling rapid visualisation and smarter project planning, while advocating for ethical AI practices to support creators.

🌟 Blair Boyle, Associate Workplace Designer at Savills Workplace & Design, explained how AI integrates into the design process, improving efficiency and enhancing workplace strategies. He cautioned that collaboration between designers and clients remains critical for achieving the best outcomes.

🌟 Tim Mutton, Director at Blacksheep, shared that AI is a ground-breaking tool but stressed the importance of balancing its capabilities with human ingenuity. He urged designers to remain curious and draw inspiration from industries beyond design.

🌟 Bella Bertoni, Associate Strategist at For Everyday Life, shared how augmented intelligence merges human, technological, and natural insights to create sustainable and meaningful designs. She underscored the importance of refining prompts for accurate and energy-efficient outputs.
