AIA Southeast Asia Fall Symposium 2026 Examines Regenerative Design in an Automated Era

Scheduled for Friday, October 23, 2026, at 03:30 U.S. Eastern Time — 15:30 Malaysia time — the AIA Southeast Asia Fall Symposium will convene under the theme "Designing for Resilience: Regenerative Thinking in the Era of Automation." The event is organized in a hybrid format, hosted at the Haworth Showroom in Kuala Lumpur and broadcast regionally, with an estimated 2.5 LU/HSW available to AIA members. As climate vulnerabilities intensify and rapid automation reshapes architectural practice, the symposium interrogates how ecological regeneration, social inclusion and advanced technological systems intersect to transform built environments beyond standard sustainability metrics. The program brings together industry pioneers for a discussion that positions regenerative thinking, rather than conventional benchmarks, at the center of architectural response to automation. Registration and attendance details are available through the AIA Southeast Asia announcement.
