World Architecture Day | AI-Driven Resilient Design with Snaptrude
This year, World Architecture Day (6 October 2025) embraces the theme Design for Strength. Introduced by the International Union of Architects (UIA), the theme calls on architects worldwide to look beyond short-term fixes and instead design environments that can endure, adapt, and rebuild in the face of disruption.
In this live session, we’ll explore how AI can be a platform for resilience in early-stage design. Imagine generating context-aware massing options optimized for flood risk, evaluating alternative materials for rebuilding, or rapidly visualizing community-driven design choices: all within a single platform.
Host:
Oliver Thomas, co-founder of Archi-Tech Network, with prior experience as Design Technology Manager at BIG and other renowned firms such as Aedas and Front Inc. He specializes in leveraging BIM, computation, and immersive tools to advance design from concept to fabrication.
What You’ll Learn:
AI in action: See how Snaptrude can generate design options that respond to site context, resilience factors and performance goals.
Practical workflows: Learn how to integrate AI into your early-stage design process without disrupting current ways of working.
Real-world insights: Hear from architects on where AI has had the most measurable design impact in practice.
AI and accountability: Explore challenges like intellectual property, attribution, and client readiness when using AI in architecture.
Q&A: Bring your questions. We’ll tackle the most interesting ones live.
