2025: S6 - Research and Data

This session explored the capacity of data and research to generate new possibilities for affordable housing, project delivery, and material responsibility. Speakers emphasized the importance of centering data and research on creativity, collaboration and stewardship. Scholars were challenged to widen the scope of their imagination for research and data – from generating creative uses for under-utilized structures, to tracking materials and to inspiring architects and designers to drive change in the AEC industry through their decisions.
