Presentation: Digital Twins, Privacy, and the Future of Built Space
Digital twins have evolved into AI-powered decision engines transforming building design and operations. Through real-world case studies, we explore how this technology revolutionizes architecture while examining critical considerations of privacy, equity, and environmental responsibility in implementation.
The convergence of IoT sensors, machine learning, and cloud computing has transformed digital twins into dynamic decision-making engines for architectural projects. This presentation explores how digital twins powered by real-time data analytics is changing building design, construction, and operations. We'll examine case studies where digital twin technology intersects with privacy, social equity, and environmental responsibility. While these virtual replicas offer unprecedented capabilities in building optimization and management, they raise critical questions about surveillance, consent, and algorithmic bias. We’ll discuss how institutions can navigate these challenges through privacy-by-design principles, community engagement, and ethical governance frameworks. Attendees will gain practical insights into ethical guidelines, ensuring data privacy, and fostering community trust while leveraging the transformative potential of digital twin technology in architectural practice.
