Agenda + Schedule
The Dangers of Artificial Intelligence
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool for architects, however increased use comes with several challenges and risks. AI ‘hallucinations’ are a particularly troublesome issue, where AI models generate outputs that are fabricated or junk, and could lead to major consequences in the absence of risk mitigation strategies.
Wellness Architecture
Through a multidisciplinary design approach, the physical, mental and emotional health of building occupants can be enhanced by relying on evidence-based-, sustainable- and biophilic-principles. While wellness architecture is widely associated with residential developments, it can also improve the lives of users in offices, education and healthcare facilities.
Green Cities
Landscape architecture is the key to unlocking enhanced urban resilience, improved human well-begin and environmental sustainability. As the world grapples with increased urbanisation and the growing consequences of climate-change, it’s vital that governments and developers create environments that elevate quality of life and promote sustainable growth and community resilience.
Urban Mobility
In the Middle East, urban mobility is a multifaceted challenge due to factors including rapid urbanisation, limited public transport networks, and an affinity for private vehicles. Through expansion of public transport networks, investments into sustainable and smart transportation, and a reliance on micromobility and shared mobility solutions, these challenge can be addressed.
