Future of Architecture Summit | 14 Jun 2023 | Habtoor Grand Resort JBR, Dubai, UAE
HABTOOR GRAND RESORT JBR / DUBAI / UAE

Are Architects becoming replaceable?
The growth of Smart, AI-led software is
putting design in everyone’s hands.

14 June 2023

About the

Future of Architecture Summit

The third Future of Architecture Summit (FOA) will take a thoroughly modern and tech-inspired look at tomorrow’s directions for leading-edge architecture and design.

The event will be driven by dialogue around two key themes in particular: firstly, the use of AI-led generative software (such as Midjourney and DALL-E), and its ability to place leading-edge design in the hands of engineering companies – begging the question: ‘will the future need architects at all’? Then, the Summit will assess if the next generation city is high-rise and super-tall, or all about the new, community-led concepts of ‘the 15-minute city’ – as recently proposed as the future of Dubai, for example.

Tools

Architect or Engineer?

Engineers are now armed with the intuitive and creative power traditionally belonging to Architects – and what’s more, it comes fully loaded with cost controls, too.

Lateral or High?

Community concepts

With more and more talk of building cities where everything is only a 15-minute trip away, does this mean that traditional neighbourhoods will replace super-tall buildings forever?

Materials

The new nano-constructables

Architects and designers have vast rafts of new materials to work with – and they’re all sustainable, whether the new neo-organic materials coming from aviation or the nano-weave of bio-degradables.
