Claude Code Cheat Sheet for Architects and Designers
A practical Claude Code cheat sheet for architects: installation, essential commands, project setup, skills, and architecture workflow examples.
AEC Magazine on the Judgement Stack
Martyn Day dedicated a feature in AEC Magazine to Skills for Architects, using it as the public reference architecture for what he calls the judgement stack — the layer a practice owns above the model.
Can Your Firm Train Its Own AI Model? Pre-Training, Fine-Tuning, and RAG, Explained
Pre-training and fine-tuning are both called training — one takes a frontier lab, the other runs on a Mac mini. Firms announcing they'll train their own model are usually describing the one they can't afford.
Architecture Studio 1.4: The Skills You Write Yourself
283 stars, 46 skills, and a breaking migration — v1.4 turns the plugin into a framework your firm extends, with a studio workspace, firm-owned skills, and project records that outlive every update.
Architecture Studio 1.3: A Course in the Terminal
255 stars, 40 skills, and a new kind of skill entirely — v1.3 ships /learn, a six-module hands-on course that teaches architects Claude Code itself, on a fictional Brooklyn art museum project.
Architecture Firms Need an Agent Harness
AI agents for architecture firms need more than a chat window. Vercel's eve gives teams a durable runtime for tools, subagents, approvals, channels, and memory, with Architecture Studio and Norma as the domain and material layers.
Introducing Norma
Norma is an AI material library and product-memory layer for architecture and design studios, turning messy schedules, quotes, specs, and product research into private, cited, reusable studio memory.

179 stars, 39 skills, seven releases — and the biggest change isn't a skill at all. Architecture Studio v1.2 gives every project a dossier and a decision log, as plain files in the project folder.
How Architecture Firms Should Build Their AI Stack
A practical framework for architecture firms building an AI stack: model access, agent harnesses, domain agents, project memory, material libraries, governance, and review.
Agentic AI in AEC: What Actually Changes for Practice
A practical view of agentic AI in AEC: what changes inside architecture firms, what should stay human-led, and how agent harnesses, project memory, and material libraries fit together.
Architecture Studio's First Month: 100+ Stars on GitHub
Architecture Studio hit 100 GitHub stars in its first month. Here's what the numbers say about how architects are adopting AI tools — and what surprised us.
Introducing Architecture Studio
Architecture Studio is an open-source AI agent system for architects and interior designers — Claude workflows for site research, zoning, specifications, product research, FF&E schedules, and sustainability.
Most AEC AI Apps Are Just Claude Wrappers
How architecture firms can evaluate AI tools: identify proprietary data and validated algorithms, compare buy-versus-build costs, and avoid paying for thin wrappers.
