The book
Prompted Construction
Protocols for a new architectural intelligence. Written with Pierpaolo Ruttico and Andrea Dari, published by Tab edizioni in June 2025.
If artificial intelligence can design, build and monitor, what remains for the architect? That is the question the book is built around, and it does not settle for a reassuring answer.
Design is treated as what it has actually become: an ecosystem of data and automated decisions. The book follows that shift across the technologies already reshaping practice, the design processes that AI systems make possible, the infrastructure those processes need in order to work, and what may come next.
Its argument is that the prompt has become a foundational interface — the place where intent enters the system — and that this moves the architect from form-maker to system-designer.
What it covers
The tools that already changed practice
The digital technologies that have quietly moved from experiment to daily use, and what they displaced on the way.
Processes AI makes possible
New design processes that only hold together once generation, evaluation and control are in the same loop.
The infrastructure underneath
What has to exist — data, protocols, machines, responsibility — before any of it survives contact with a real project.
From form-maker to system-designer
Where the architect ends up once the prompt, not the drawing, is the interface where intent enters the system.
