Architecture is a career based largely on design and expression, generating environments that try to convey sensations to the people who inhabit those places, robots would not have real feelings to be able to understand and generate that.

To make a good Civil Draftsman you need a certain ingenuity and imagination to get new and optimised solutions.

Therefore a Robot would need a human-like mind to do this job which is why I think it is very unlikely that a robot will take my job.

Automation of drafting is higly likely. Can be made today. People controling the final building model and drawings will still be needed though.

As a researcher in the mentioned area, I strongly believe architectural drafting will be a distant memory as machines are much better than us in correcting and devising plans.
