Emily Yan, Director, Studio Hong Kong (Asia Region) at Snøhetta, is invited to speak at JUNG Architecture Talks Seoul 2025 on the "Coexistence of AI and Architecture". The conference will explore how rapidly advancing artificial intelligence technologies are reshaping architecture and spatial design, focusing on ways to harmonize technological innovation with human-centered architectural values.

Organized by Albrecht Jung GmbH & Co. KG, the headquarters of JUNG in Germany, JUNG Architecture Talks has been held for several years across major global cities. The Seoul edition in 2025 is expected to bring together professionals from across the architectural spectrum—architecture, interior design, urban planning, construction, and development—to discuss and share new paradigms of architecture in the era of AI. The core theme for 2025, “Coexistence of AI-based and non-AI-based architectural environment,” will delve into how digitalization and automation in architecture can enhance user efficiency and comfort while integrating cultural and sensory values rooted in human-centered design.

The event is by invitation only.

Three key keywords summarize this year’s discussions:.

  • Harmonious human-AI interaction: The balanced collaboration between human intuition and AI precision
  • Integrated smart & traditional systems: The synergy between digital intelligence and analog control
