Session 2.4
DTS: Technology in Career Growth: Should I Stay or Should I Go?
Synopsis:
Part of the DTS Track based on the preceding 2.3 presentation. Discovery-based discussion on technology’s absence/ presence in AEC career paths, relationships to adjacent industries, and defining one’s own trajectory.
Learning Objectives:
1. Describe common reasons for technologists’ departure from AEC.
2. Develop strategies for increased resonance in AEC: What can the industry do?
3. Develop strategies for increased resonance in AEC: What can technologists do?
4. Identify transferrable skills to AEC-adjacent industries and fields
Body:
The last 10 years have seen a proliferation of computation in design, only to have that talent diffuse from architecture and into adjacent industries such as clothing, UIUX/ product, and industrial design. What are the root causes of lack of resonance in AEC, and what can be done about it?
