Retooling AEC: From Information to Intelligence – Greg Demchak – Motif

The AEC industry has long been built on information — drawings, models, documentation. But information alone is no longer enough. As complexity rises and expectations shift, we need collaborative systems that can reason, adapt, and respond to design intent. This talk explores how the next generation of tools — grounded in intelligence, not just data — will retool the way we imagine, design, and deliver buildings. Welcome to the age of Agentic Building Modeling — where creativity is supported, not constrained, by intelligent, inclusive, and intent-driven systems.
