Chapman Taylor to explore AI and Sustainable design at Clerkenwell Design Week

Chapman Taylor’s Head of Sustainability, Alexander Esfahani, will speak at this year’s Clerkenwell Design Week, examining how artificial intelligence can help shape a more sustainable built environment.

Clerkenwell Design Week Thumb May 2026

The session will take place on Tuesday, 19 May from 15:00 to 16:00, at Kronospan London Design Centre, 73-75 Goswell Road, London EC1V 7ER.

Titled “AI and Sustainable Buildings”, the talk will explore how emerging technologies are transforming the way architects and designers approach sustainability, from early-stage concept development through to delivery and operation. 

Drawing on Chapman Taylor’s experience in integrating innovation into practice, the session will highlight how AI can support better decision-making, improve environmental performance, and unlock new opportunities for low-carbon design.

As the industry continues to respond to climate challenges and evolving expectations, the event offers valuable insight into the intersection of technology and architecture and what it means for the future of the built environment.
