Spirit of Place & Space

While AI in the medium term will no doubt have a huge impact on architecture and the built environment, great design, place, and space-making will remain opportunities for creative human minds to explore. The nuances and subtleties required to create delightful and human-centric environments must be valued and celebrated.
