The built environment is entering a decade of disruption.

AI is reshaping daily work. Clients are buying proof instead of promises. Loneliness is becoming a design problem.

The question isn’t whether these shifts are coming. It’s whether our industry is ready for them.

This webinar introduces IIDA’s Futures Readiness Index, a new diagnostic built from more than 1,000 data points across the built environment. We’ll walk through what the Index reveals, how ready our industry really is, and 10 sharp insights (including how AI is creating a two-speed workforce and the new generation of materials that heal themselves).

What you’ll learn:

  • Foresight 101 — Why the future is hard to think about, and what foresight actually means
  • How to use the Index — A practical way to self-assess your team’s readiness and turn the diagnostic into action
  • 10 insights form the Index — Trends and signals shaping the next decade of design
  • Broader design shifts — Overarching themes that give you a clearer sense of where the built environment is headed over the next 10 to 20 years.

Bonus: Five participants will win a custom deck of cards with the 10 future insights
