A London creative consultancy that helps architects, developers and software companies use generative design and artificial intelligence.
Arka Works is a London creative consultancy that helps architects, developers and software start-ups use generative design and artificial intelligence (AI). It describes itself as a creative consultancy specialising in AI for the built environment. Generative design means using software that creates images or design options from a written prompt or a sketch. Arka Works does not build one product. Instead it advises practices on how to adopt these tools in a sensible, project-led way.
According to its Architecture Social profile, the services include transformation planning, hands-on workshops for architecture practices, applied research and development, and user experience (UX) advice for software teams building tools for the sector. The page does not give a formal mission statement. Its stated aim is to help the industry use these tools effectively, in a practical, project-led way, and we have not invented anything beyond that.
The company is listed as London-based. The only person named on the profile is Keir Regan-Alexander, listed as director. The same profile says he also co-founded OmniChat.uk, a platform that lets people use several large language models, and founded Omni Accelerator, a learning platform for teams adopting AI. We did not find a street address or any other offices, and we found only the one directory profile, so evidence here is thin.
On culture, nothing has been published that we could read. Because the company seems to be very small, a consultancy like this is probably closer to a studio of specialists than to a large employer, but that is our reading and not a claim by the company. If you want to understand where AI is changing architecture, a firm that runs workshops with practices is well placed to see it first, and it shows that careers in this area can be built on advising and teaching as well as designing.
The sort of work a consultancy like this does includes research, running workshops, writing guidance, testing new software, and advising software developers on how architects actually work. People who might fit include architects and designers with an interest in technology, researchers, trainers and communicators. If you are curious about architecture and AI, this is a small and new corner of the industry worth following. For up-to-date information, check the company's own website, which we have not read.
