In this episode of SPACES, Dimitrius sits down with architect, project manager, historian, writer, and educator Kate Reggev for a wide-ranging conversation about technology, AI, risk, and the future of the built environment.

Originally recorded as part of DATM 2026, Gābl Media’s inaugural virtual summit exploring the ideas, technologies, and people shaping the future of the built world, the conversation examines how architecture, construction, ownership, and education are responding to a period of rapid technological change.

Topics include:

  • AI and automation in architecture
  • Fear of technological change and job displacement
  • How owners evaluate new technology
  • Risk, liability, and project decision-making
  • Lessons from past technological revolutions
  • CAD, BIM, prefabrication, and 3D printing
  • Why technological optimism has changed
  • The growing complexity of building documentation
  • Teaching architecture in the age of AI
  • Technology as a tool rather than a fallback
  • The continued importance of hand drawing and physical experience
  • Where AI is useful—and where it can become dangerous
  • The future of construction and the skilled trades
  • Why human judgment must remain central

This conversation originally aired during DATM 2026, Gābl Media’s virtual summit focused on the ideas, technologies, and people shaping the future of the built world.
