American Institute of Architects (AIA) Seminar
Architecture is being reshaped by AI. This AIA-LA lunch seminar shows how small and medium firms can turn that shift into an advantage
The opportunity hiding inside the disruption
Architecture is being pulled in two directions. Developers are using AI to bring more work in house, and design build firms are moving deeper into design. Firms that keep billing purely by hours and headcount will feel the squeeze. But the same technology opens a door that was closed a year ago: a small, lean team with the right tools can now compete for work that used to belong to much larger firms.
This seminar, hosted by AIA-LA with Podium, is about how to walk through that door and make money doing it.
What you will see
- Rapid feasibility studies generated from site and RFP data
- Multiple design alternatives compared side by side
- An SB79 transit oriented development workflow, timed to the 4,000 plus sites in LA County now eligible for by right density
- How a small firm can package all of this into a fixed fee deliverable
Who should attend
Principals and teams at small and medium firms working in multifamily, affordable housing, and transit oriented development, and anyone deciding how their practice competes over the next five years.
This session is free to attend. Prior registration is required.
