Artificial intelligence is changing how architects design, visualize, communicate, and work. But beyond the impressive renders and new tools, what does AI actually mean for the way architects think, learn, and practice?

This webinar brings together professionals, a global guest speaker, and architecture students for an open and practical conversation about AI in architectural education, design workflows, visualization, sustainability, and professional practice.
