How does the confluence of digital technologies—machine learning, robotic automation, sensoring, big data—provide architects with both opportunities and risk? This talk will provide an overview of how designers and builders can adapt to these disruptions by shifting their processes and business models and re-examining the fundamentals of architects' value propositions to the built environment.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Give examples of how architecture operates in a larger system and how those systems are affected by the way we deploy technology.
Explain the transformative effect technology will have on how buildings are built, but also the roles of architects.
