It might not actually get better for architects. After all, the job is a combination of creativity and data points (will the building stand?). The data and knowledge bit could theoretically be taken over by a computer. Suddenly, normal folks can design their own house. After all, the system would know (based on current at the time knowledge) if the building is a sturdy enough design. I think that advancement would also mean it suddenly gets easier to do home improvements as well.
Most new construction would still follow fads, since humans tend to like them - look at the popularity of the McMansion, after all. A few designs from creative folks, who are not architects, would be simply beautiful or simply weird.
The folks in the supply chain - or whoever owns it - would wind up being more profitable because of more demand, though.
