When Ideas Lost Their Walls and Found AI Instead

Today at MIZA Abu Dhabi , I tried to translate the session in my own way
the melodramatic, sarcastic, architectural-storytelling way my brain insists on working.

Listening to Khaled Iskandar , I realized architecture has always been more than design.
It’s memory with structure.
It’s emotion that learned geometry.

Once upon a time, vernaculars built with belonging mud, rhythm, and survival.
Then came deconstruction, the rebellion that tore down logic and called it liberation.
And now, the too-honest ideas that never found a form have found their shape inside AI
the new architect who doesn’t wait for permits, budgets, or moods.

AI just creates.
Genuinely. Effortlessly. Without asking for validation or applause.
It doesn’t worry about walls; it sketches intent.
It doesn’t chase proportion; it simply knows balance.

Maybe that’s what authenticity looks like now
not in the permanence of form, but in the courage to stay formless.

And maybe storytelling is the same.
We build sentences like staircases, emotions like facades
until everything collapses beautifully back into truth.

So thank you MIZA Abu Dhabi for hosting a conversation where architecture stopped being about construction and started being about consciousness.
And to Khaled Iskandar , for reminding us that architecture and storytelling
aren’t about walls or words
but about what survives after both collapse.
Because the walls we build, whether in design or in life,
only matter if something human echoes inside them.

Because in the end,
we’re all architects of something
a home, a story, a legacy
even if the foundation is invisible.
