建筑师呼吁在伦敦峰会上进行技术革命

[来源: CP] [分类提示: NEWS] 标题: Architects Call for Tech Revolution at London Summit The construction industry is facing a digital wake-up call as the Archi-Tech Network (ATN) held its inaugural summit in London, demanding a shift toward open software, artificial intelligence, and seamless data sharing. Founded by architect Oliver Thomas, the movement aims to fix a long-standing frustration: outdated, disconnected software that stifles creativity and slows down the building process. The summit brought together over 500 designers and technologists who are pushing for a future where tools are intuitive, collaborative, and hosted in the cloud. A central theme of the event was the push for “interoperability”—the ability for different software programs to work together without losing data. Industry experts argued that architects currently waste too much time toggling between programs and reworking designs. While AI was a hot topic, speakers reassured the crowd that human empathy remains irreplaceable in design. Instead of replacing architects, technology is being redirected to solve massive global challenges, such as quantifying climate impact and making cities more resilient to natural disasters. Attendees gathered to watch a presentation at the ATN Summit. Bentley Systems Bentley also presented an immersive virtual reality experience at the summit. Using Bentley software and cutting-edge 3D visualization, attendees were transported into a digital twin of Manhattan’s coastal resiliency project. The sim
