A recap from: Freedom to Build: AI & Architecture

We’re grateful to everyone who came out, engaged, and contributed to a thoughtful conversation about where design and technology intersect.

A special thank you to Tariq for introducing a powerful AI tool and walking us through how it can be applied in real-world design and development processes.

And thank you to Nicholas for grounding the conversation in history — reminding us that every technological shift in architecture has reshaped how we build, and who we build for.

The dialogue was insightful, practical, and forward-thinking.

Swipe for a few highlights from the event.

"What if the future of housing in Milwaukee is built by the people who already live here?

Freedom to Build is a Black History Month event exploring how Black homeowners can use ADUs and new AI tools to build housing without displacement, speculation, or outside developers.

This is a hands-on, community-led event focused on practical options for homeowners who want to stay rooted while creating space for family or income.

Saturday, February 21 | 11 AM–1PM

"We support good housing wherever we find it — and even better when it’s next door."

Our friends at Galbraith Carnahan Architects are highlighting Union Green, a townhouse development in West Allis, with a tour and panel conversation on February 19th. Projects like this help expand the housing options Milwaukee needs.

We invite you to join the conversation and learn how similar approaches can be applied locally.

Thank you, Lieutenant Governor Sara Rodriguez, for meeting with our coalition last month to discuss the importance of making homes more affordable for all of Milwaukee. We appreciated the opportunity to share why updating Milwaukee’s zoning codes is such a critical step toward expanding housing choice and reducing housing instability in our communities.
