"Collaboration is key Affordable housing and supporting community resources are in crisis-projects that deliver proximity to public transportation, social infrastructure, and offer cultural resources such as restaurants and entertainment will be in high demand. Understanding the role a building plays within a broader community is a vital part of the design process that is often lacking. Collaboration needs to extend beyond cities and design teams to integrate community needs."
"This year will bring many of the same challenges we have already seen: more pressure to deliver projects faster while maintaining the quality of the work, understanding what a high-performance building actually means, and streamlining public agency approvals. The latter is an area where AI would be a valuable tool to support innovation and efficiency. There is also a growing opportunity for greater partnership and collaboration with academia and architectural practice."
Design for the built environment requires a long-term perspective because projects often take years or decades and can endure for centuries. The architecture business also faces immediate upheavals and uncertainty that influence near-term project delivery. Architects must address affordable housing shortages and strained community resources by designing projects near public transit, supporting social infrastructure, and providing cultural amenities. Designers need to understand and intentionally shape a building's role within its broader community. Collaboration should expand beyond municipal and design teams to include community stakeholders, academia, and interdisciplinary partners. Efficiency pressures demand faster delivery without compromising quality, clearer definitions of high-performance buildings, and streamlined approvals, where AI can assist.
