Architects have a critical role to play in mitigating the escalating threats of climate change. In recognition of the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, this session will imagine how AI could empower architects with new tools to safeguard communities. Join us to learn from firsthand accounts of Katrina's impact. Plus, discover how AI can revolutionize building safety assessments, enhance predictive capabilities, and accelerate recovery efforts in the face of increasingly severe weather events.
Learning Objectives
- Explore the impact Hurricane Katrina had on communities.
- Discover how AI, had it existed prior to Katrina, could have mitigated many of its detrimental effects.
- Learn from architects (including through work samples and platform suggestions) who are using AI.
- Begin to connect AI's potential to the mitigation of climate change–related impacts.
