216: ‘The Future of AEC Belongs to Those Who Evolve’, with Randy Deutsch

Randy Deutsch joins the podcast to talk about what real adaptation looks like inside architectural practice. Not trend-chasing. Not tool collecting. But a fundamental shift in how architects think, learn, and operate in an AI-accelerated world.

Randy draws on decades of experience as an educator, practitioner, and author to explore why resilience, convergence, and continuous learning are now core competencies, not optional extras. The conversation spans design technology, professional identity, authorship, and the uncomfortable truth that the firms who survive the next decade will be the ones who change before they’re forced to.

This is a clear-eyed look at where architecture is headed and what it takes to stay relevant when the ground keeps moving.
