fbe Greater Manchester - AI (friend or foe) How artificial intelligence is infiltrating the built environment and what should our response be?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the topic of the moment, infiltrating everything from how we write content (this excerpt has been written with the assistance of ChatGPT) to major industries like medicine, law and media. In the domain of the built environment, AI is reshaping how we design, construct and manage buildings. While the uses of this new technology are in their infancy, AI has the potential to transform every stage of the building lifecycle.

With that in mind, we are pleased to welcome you for a breakfast sandwich and an introduction to heritage and the planning process. A real who, what, when and why of managing a heritage project.

fft Western - Have Your Say

The dictionary defines an ‘Office’ as ‘a room, set of rooms or building where people work, usually sitting at desks.’ Most of us would agree that’s a simplistic and outdated definition. Today, the office is expected to ‘earn the commute’, contribute to health & wellbeing, reflect company culture and values, support socialising, learning and collaboration.
