The impact of AI on design processes, the importance of human experience in architecture, and the evolving needs of workplace design in a post-pandemic world were among topics covered. Hoskins also looked at adaptive reuse as a strategy for urban vibrancy and the critical need for climate resilience in future designs. She emphasized the importance of investing in human experiences. “It's about creating value, being ahead of some of these curves,” Hoskins said, while also focusing on investing in humans and in places “where experiences matter, because that's really where value is going to be.”
