Optimal Ways To Integrate Technology and Art Into Architecture

Building a Canvas: A Discussion Exploring Art, Architecture & Technology

This is a panel discussion about creative technology in architecture. It is intended to be inclusive of attendees. Creative technology combined with architecture encourages engagement with the larger community in unexpected, delightful ways. But it can be obsolete too quickly or inherently exclusive. What are some optimal ways to integrate technology and art into architecture? How can we look to artists and the world of tech to inform what buildings will look like and how they will perform in the future? How can we utilize high tech ideas in more low tech ways to make it affordable/accessible?

As the boundaries of artists and designers dissolve, collaboration yields new innovation. What is an ideal design team, what are the challenges and opportunities in developing the future facades of our buildings?
