Game Engines are increasingly becoming part of the architectural toolkit. Originally developed for interactive entertainment, these technologies are now enabling architects to work in real time - testing ideas, simulating environments, and communicating design intent with greater clarity and immediacy. 

For this episode, we collaborated with 3DNY, BIG, Epic Games, and MSI to bring together industry experts, innovators and practitioners working at the forefront of this shift. Each speaker presented 20 slides, each shown for 20 seconds, resulting in a fast-paced series of talks offering a range of perspectives on how real-time technologies are reshaping architectural workflows and expanding the possibilities of design.
