CKLDP Session 5: "Industry Trends"
A great day of learning, conversation, and looking ahead at what’s shaping the future of architecture. We explored two timely topics transforming the profession: Mass Timber and Artificial Intelligence.

Is Mass Timber the Future of Construction?
An informal discussion with Chelsea Dresnick and Afsha Ali explored the fundamentals of mass timber and the opportunities and challenges behind its growing use.

Understanding AI
Adam Nakagoshi, Kristina Williams, Brian Dierks, Matt Onken, and Georgios Kontonminas shared how rapidly evolving AI technologies are reshaping architectural practice.

The cohort wrapped up with an engaging discussion about the future of AI and how architects can help bridge the gap between uncertainty and opportunity by approaching emerging technologies with curiosity, transparency, and a willingness to learn.

The biggest takeaway? Whether exploring new building systems or emerging technologies, the future of practice requires curiosity, adaptability, critical thinking, and continuous learning.

Thank you to all our speakers for sharing their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives!
