Travelling back in time, the human race can visualize assiduous artisans crafting stools, chests of drawers, beds, etc., using hand – made sketches and carvings as their visual plans. From ancient Egypt to the Indus Valley Civilization, many kinds of furniture – like objects as well as their sketches have been found throughout history in archeological digs.
Over the centuries, these objects have evolved into functional works of art that enliven any living space. The modern – day beds, dining tables, office desks, modular kitchens, sofa – sets, TV – units, are all indicators of the steep advancement in the field of interior design. Such is the extent of human creativity and ingenuity.
However, the growing adaptation of Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) in our day – to – day lives these days sadly poses a significant threat to the existence of unique ideas and one – of – a – kind designs. Moreover, the impact of AI automation on graphic design careers is also quite alarming. In the wake of this new challenge, Studio Trataka earnestly takes a stand to safeguard ancient design techniques and the jobs of numerous specialized artisans around India.
Traditional Human – Centric Design Process
Customarily, the creation of any new furniture or home décor merchandise has always been entirely humanized. It is a meticulous process harmonizing artistic vision and technical precision. Once the designer visualizes a new design, the next step is to carefully draw freehand sketches exploring forms, proportions, and various alternate design elements. Then, based on anthropometric data and expected room dimensions, the measurements of the product are aptly tailored. Next, a blueprint is drafted, featuring all the angles of the product, along with detailed measurements of every single part, joinery details, hardware placement, etc. Once all the details are meticulously noted down, the blueprint is handed over to artisans who work their magic and breathe life into the designer’s imagination. Such thoughtfully handcrafted contemporary home accessories are the pride and joy of the dedicated designers of Studio Trataka.
Modern AI – Generated Designs and the Loss of Creative Spark
The advent of AI in various fields of work raises a vital question – Is AI killing unique ideas in interior design? Nowadays, amateur designers use AI to replicate existing furniture designs rather than using their imagination to create something new. Meaning that creative skills, concentration, and patience are all going down the drain! But the question remains, where would humanity be if imagination had never been used to create electricity, the telephone, or even a simple bunk bed, for that matter? After all, you can copy the Taj Mahal all you want, but there still won’t be anything like the original masterpiece worthy of being listed as a Wonder of the World! While AI has made a sizeable amount of contribution in the laborious process of design blueprinting, it doesn’t seem fit to be used as a creator of design altogether. Thus, we can fittingly surmise that the best way going forward is to use AI only for the arduous process of idea drafting, while leaving the most significant first step of idea generation to the Human brain itself.
