Description
As architecture embraces digital tools—AI plans, 3D printing, parametric modeling—we must ask: what do we risk losing? This session explores the work of Willie Greenough, an autistic architectural model builder whose neurodivergence enables rare precision, focus, and care. Like a computer, his mind processes form and detail with logic—yet with the soul of the human hand. His models help designers and communities better see and feel a project’s potential. Led by longtime collaborator Jimmy Grigg, the panel includes Willie himself and filmmaker Zach Grigg, whose short film invites audiences to slow down and see architecture through a different lens.
