Chris Williamson on the Future of Architecture

‍

We are proud to share the first of our new digital ByDESIGN™ Talks series, where we engage in conversation key figures, trend-setters, and thought-leaders in the design and architecture space.

In this ByDESIGN™ Talks we’re coming to you from the floor of AIA26 in San Diego. Executive Producer, Mike Chapman, catches up with Chris Williamson, President of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).

Representing a global community of 55,000 professional and student members, RIBA is at the heart of the industry’s most urgent debates. In this candid, on-the-move conversation, Mike and Chris discuss the universal challenges architects face—from the global housing crisis to the transformative role of AI.

Is the industry resisting or embracing the digital shift? Chris shares his optimistic take on how architects can act as entrepreneurs and inventors to influence policy and solve the problems of tomorrow.
