Summary
Architecture is rapidly moving towards sustainability, AI assisted design, modular and resilient construction. Architects are focusing on creating buildings that use less energy and overall have a smaller impact on our environment. New technology is constantly surfacing, including the growth of A.I. which architects are using to test ideas and design more efficiently. Also, modular construction is becoming more popular because they produce less waste and can be constructed quickly. Overall, these changes will make the future of architecture more efficient and environmentally responsible.
