On January 18th, 2022, I gave a keynote titled, “Grounded Approaches to Design | Equity | Data” at the American Institute of Architects (AIA) TAP Building Connections Congress 2022. In this talk, I touched on the history of data (collection, analysis, representation, design, presentation, and application) in planning, architecture, and their societal implications, especially in light of big data and artificial intelligence (AI) today. I presented what our approach should be to data and design so that it is equitable.
