Under the theme “Next Generation,” Architectural Record’s Innovation Conference will focus on a cohort of designers coming into their own in this period that has exhibited a design thinking that goes beyond the conventional boundaries of the field. The extensive architectural work presented, both American and international, will include important cultural facilities, creative models for housing, alternative forms of sustainability, pioneering adaptive reuse, and new pedagogical approaches. In addition to the variety of typologies, presentations will tackle topics such as design specifity and flexibility, architectural activism, resource optimization, and the enhancement of the human experience. The speakers will describe the fundamental ideas that are essential to human-centered design and planning, and how basic concepts of quality and sustainability can be scaled up from prototypical, smaller projects to large schemes for infrastructure, public buildings, and urban designs.
