Online event LG Darmstadt: From Concept to Completion: Where AI Supports (Not Replaces) the Project Manager in Architecture with Olja Stefanovska

As architecture becomes increasingly complex, project managers are under growing pressure to deliver innovative, timely, and cost-effective results. With tighter deadlines, expanding datasets, and a broader range of stakeholder expectations, the role of the project manager is more demanding than ever.

In this session, we explore how artificial intelligence can act as a strategic support system not a replacement for architectural project managers. AI offers powerful tools to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows, and strengthen communication across teams and clients.

Through real-world examples, we will examine how AI has:

Accelerated early-stage feasibility studies

Aided in design analysis and scenario testing

Improved clarity and speed in stakeholder communication

Despite common fears around automation, this session emphasizes that AI still relies on human leadership, ethical judgment, and contextual understanding. The project manager remains the critical decision-maker, now supported by technologies that make it easier to anticipate challenges, evaluate alternatives, and manage complexity at every phase of a project.

What you’ll gain:

- Practical insights into integrating AI tools in your daily workflow

- A better understanding of how AI fits into project phases—from concept to delivery

- Strategies for maintaining human oversight while leveraging technological capabilities

Whether you're already using AI or just beginning to explore its potential, this talk offers a grounded perspective on how to incorporate AI responsibly and strategically—while preserving the human elements that make architecture visionary.
