Collaborate...Innovate

As the means and methods of design and materialization employed in the design and construction sectors continue to advance toward a near future of intelligent material systems, how does architectural education prepare students to learn, collaborate, and innovate across disciplines?

In an age of intelligent machines, where the necessities of optimization and efficiency demand (?) new approaches like machine learning and artificial intelligence, the ability to understand the limitations, extend the capabilities, and contextualize the implications of emerging methods of design and making becomes critical.

How do we provide a broad design education while enabling the specialization that innovative thinking requires?
