Will a Robot Take My Job?

How will technology shape the future of architectural practice? Save the date for our upcoming webinar on 24 July with Ceilidh Higgins. It’s not to be missed.
Many architects believe that their jobs will be safe from the robots – after all, our roles involve extensive human interaction and complex problem solving across a wide range of fields. You may not have noticed yet, but automation has already arrived in many architecture practices. What are some of the current technologies available and what is just around the corner? What is ahead for construction – the least technologically developed sector? Finally what could automation mean for the way we practise – and what do Google, WeWork and Amazon have to do with the future of architecture?
Our July webinar will cover a wide range of existing and new technologies being used in design and practice, as well as looking at emerging technologies that will likely impact the future of design and construction. These technologies may not just change the way we work – they may change the very structure of our profession. You don’t have to know anything about software to benefit from this webinar – this is a high-level discussion, aiming at expanding horizons and debating what might influence the future of architecture, engineering and construction.
