A really interesting interview with a key leader of urban architecture. She talks about the intersection of culture, technology, and AI in ways that overlap a lot with how we are thinking about digital ecosystems at the moment. "The great pieces of architecture throughout history are an amalgamation of their time, their zeitgeist, and the available technologies.

Architects — Archi-speak is not the problem. Not understanding your audience is the problem. Experts do not hide behind industry jargon. Jargon is a familiar form of communication used within an industry or group. Jargon is learned vocabulary, gained with education & experience.

This is why architects should hire marketers (like ARCHMARK | The Architect Branding & Marketing Agency to help remove the Archi-speak, so you communicate and connect more effectively to your target audiences.
