To what extent are architects today actively encouraged to be creative? Is the pursuit of cost-cutting, coupled with the rise of stereotypical preferences like sustainability, squeezing the creative spark out of the profession? Are factors like sustainability becoming more important than actual design, as they become new off-world, future communities?
The history of architecture often revolves around colourful, ‘guru’ figures. However, to what extent are individuals still influential in shaping the built environment in the GCC? Are trends now led by committees, new off-world communities, and the meticulous planning of urban grids?
Will today’s advancements in architecture and the integration of AI enable successful construction of new off-world, futuristic communities? What are the opportunities and constraints that extraterrestrial expansion presents to architects, and when will these become feasible for large-scale implementation?
The new generation of bio-organic materials promises sustainable, lighter, and interactive structures. However, is the technology truly sustainable, lighter, and also interactive? Is it sufficiently advanced yet, and when will the slow pace of progress align with commercial demands?
