Is the architecture profession facing a crisis or a revolution? 🏗️ From the widening rift between architectural education and industry practice to the rapid disruption of AI and BIM, the way we design buildings is changing faster than ever.

In this exclusive Architecture Roundtable, we dive deep into the evolution of architectural thinking. We explore the transition from hand drafting to digital workflows, the responsibility of sustainable design, and the controversial role of Vastu in modern architecture. Whether you are an architecture student, a practicing architect, or a design enthusiast, this discussion reveals the invisible forces shaping our built environment.

🚀 Key Topics Covered:

The Education Gap: Why is there a disconnect between architectural research and real-world practice?

Tech Evolution: How moving from CAD to BIM changes the way we think.

Sustainability: Moving beyond "trends" to genuine human responsibility.

AI & The Future: Will Artificial Intelligence replace architects or empower them?

Vastu Shastra: Balancing traditional belief systems with contemporary design.
