The Principal Architect of Fulgar Architects, Ar. John Ian Lee Fulgar, was invited as one of the distinguished guest speakers in the event “Leaders in Innovation: The Roles of Architects for Livable, Equitable, and Smart Cities,” held at the Benito Sy Pow Auditorium, UP College of Architecture, last October 4, 2024, Friday.
The forum gathered thought leaders and practitioners in architecture to explore how innovation, inclusivity, and sustainability shape the future of cities. The event provided a platform for architects and students alike to discuss strategies for building livable and future-ready communities.
Ar. Ian Fulgar delivered a compelling talk titled “Creative Technologist on AI, Architecture, and the Industry.” Drawing from over twelve years of experience in both architecture and software technology, he shared how artificial intelligence and emerging tools can be integrated into design practice, opening new possibilities in master planning, township developments, leisure projects, and mixed-use architecture.
Through this forum, Ar. Ian Fulgar emphasized the critical role of architects in bridging creativity, technology, and sustainability to design cities that are not only smart but also equitable and livable.
