When a profession called Architecture came to the Philippines almost a century ago, Architects build (design and construct) buildings for shelter and gatherings of people. Since then till now, their main and basic goals are to make the buildings functional, strong, serviceable, and artfully beautiful or aesthetic. They follow the theory of art like organization, coordination, color, rhythm, balance, etc. Yet applying these goals and theory, no two architects are alike; the same that there are no two music, paintings and other works of art are alike. Architects use their creativity with tools, simple mechanism, and electricity and light types of equipment. Their materials came from nature combining them together. To make their designs different from the others, they sustain them with their own ideas and forms through researches in books, observations, and advice from their elders. The procedure is simple. Design is drawing by the draftsman, specify and estimate. During construction, An architect supervises; or oversees it if done correctly by the contractor. The finished product stands there, sound, beautiful, functional until today. The procedure is very simple and direct making the cost very minimal. With the advent of alleged advanced and intelligent technology, drafting is almost trite with the coming of CADD; mathematics on estimate can be done through EXCEL, and artificial materials abound with their specifications and prices and with focused assistance. New allegedly knowledge and inventions appear which is only the older procedures, sensationalized making it complicated and hard to understand. These are all for the sake of money which is our modern god today. Academic studies and board examinations were very simple then, yet it produced many of the best architects. Our architects of yesteryears are expert in architectural and structural design and construction. Although now, architectural design is still creative, it has already templates to base on. New technological-sounding procedures appear, making it easy to apply. Change is progressive, but it also is expensive. Computer is the new trend that brings progress and facilitates time and increases quantities. It also improves quality. But the computer robot makes the advancement soar the prices very high that affect the balance of our economy. The introduction of CPD is not much of a necessity to the architects. Why is he obliged to study and pay for knowledge he is not interested and would not apply in his practice? Will architecture not survive without CPD? In fact, CPD is not known to our ancestral architects who brought architecture famous in our country. CPD is already a law and there is no way to escape out. We must abide by it. We are converting the creative mind of our children by the introduction of this so-called Artificial Intelligence. By using these digital gadgets like AutoCAD and other templates, Artificial Intelligence can easily solve problems with one click on a computer depriving our children to use their creativity, constructive ability and focus analysis. Artificial Intelligence children, according to Albert Einstein, can cause chronic depression and sometimes mental derangement to our youngsters.
