Description

Architecture today is a discipline at the intersection of profound global shifts, shaped as much by the pressing challenges of decarbonization, inclusion, and community engagement as by advancements in digital technologies, labor practices, and material ethics. It must also navigate increasingly complex budget constraints, evolving statutory regulations, and the diverse needs of stakeholders. In this rapidly transforming landscape, how can the profession address these contemporary challenges, and what strategies can guide architects through shifting economic, policy, and political realities?

This symposium invites a candid panel discussion featuring leaders from the American Institute of Architects, the Singapore Institute of Architects, and the National University of Singapore. Together, they will explore the key forces shaping architectural practice today and suggest paths forward for the profession.
