Technology in Architectural Practice

AIA colleagues,

I wanted to share an upcoming AIASF program that may be of interest to architects thinking about practical and responsible AI adoption in practice:

AI in Architectural Practice: Adoption, Responsibility, and Risk
Tuesday, August 25, 2026
8:30 to 10:30 a.m. PT
Center for Architecture + Design, San Francisco
2 approved LUs

I will be moderating a panel with AI implementation, legal, and insurance/risk perspectives. The discussion will focus on how architects and small firms can evaluate AI use in real workflows while preserving professional judgment, client trust, confidentiality, documentation, contracts, insurance, and risk management.

This is a hybrid in-person and online AIASF Small Firms program and I thought it is relevant to AIA members and allied professionals tracking this topic.

Registration and details are here:

Best,
Howard Blecher, AIA, NCARB
Chair, AIA San Francisco Small Firms Knowledge Community
