Jerry explains why AI should be viewed as a tool rather than a replacement for human expertise, and how faster technology is raising expectations for architects to deliver more while continuing to build the trust and relationships that drive successful projects. They discuss how architects are moving beyond traditional design responsibilities to become strategic advisors who help clients solve business challenges, understand workplace data, strengthen company culture, and plan spaces for needs that may not exist yet.

The conversation also looks at the evolution of the post-pandemic workplace, from hoteling and badge data to hospitality-inspired amenities, flexible spaces, employee retention, and the growing importance of creating offices that give people a meaningful reason to come together.

Listen now to hear how AI, human connection, and intentional design are changing what companies should expect from their architects and shaping the workplaces of the future.
