EVENT DETAILS

On Friday, March 13, 2026 please join the AIA Los Angeles TAP + Professional Practice Committees for the 2026 Technology Conference: AI: Architectural Intelligence.

In Los Angeles, resilience is not an abstract idea, it’s a lived experience. Our hillsides still bear the marks of wildfire, our communities rise from ash and drought, and our studios are filled with people determined to design a more hopeful future. As architects, we’re reshaping more than rebuilding—confronting scarcity, loss, and systemic vulnerability. Technology is enabling it all, embedding intelligence into design and delivery, accelerating housing recovery, addressing resource shortages, and keeping firms agile amid shifting talent and climate pressures.

AI: Architectural Intelligence calls us to redefine what intelligence means in architecture—moving beyond tools to create systems that learn, anticipate, and evolve with the communities they serve. This year’s conference explores a new paradigm: not technology shaping architecture, but architecture shaping the intelligence of technology.


AIA CES: 6.0 LU|HSW applied for.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

By participating in this conference, attendees will be able to:

1. Evaluate how AI-enabled design systems can enhance community resilience by anticipating and mitigating risks related to wildfire, drought, housing recovery, and climate-driven hazards, supporting decisions that protect public health, safety, and welfare.
2. Apply principles of tech-enabled resilience to integrate artificial intelligence, data-informed workflows, and adaptive modeling into architectural practice in ways that improve environmental performance, resource efficiency, and long-term occupant well-being.
3. Analyze the role of architectural leadership in shaping ethical and responsible AI systems, ensuring that emerging technologies support equitable outcomes, reduce systemic vulnerability, and align with climate-responsive and resilience-focused design goals.
4. Assess how intelligent design and delivery platforms can support zero-net-carbon strategies, including lifecycle analysis, predictive performance modeling, and informed material and energy decisions that reduce environmental impact over time.
5. Identify strategies for leveraging AI and advanced technologies to accelerate resilient housing and infrastructure solutions, particularly in post-disaster and resource-constrained contexts, while maintaining safety, durability, and community trust.

6. Synthesize lessons from case studies and expert-led discussions to inform firm-wide and project-level decision-making that strengthens climate adaptation, risk management, and the integration of intelligent systems into architectural practice.
