Name: Kyle Sturgeon AIA

How are you participating in ABX 2016?
This year, I’m designing and building an Opening Night Party inflatable installation with an excellent crew of Boston Architectural College (BAC) students.

Your top three conference or speaker picks at ABX 2016?
My must-see ABX selections include Emily Grandstaff-Rice FAIA and Mia Scharphie discussing Diversity and Equitable Practice, and also the Technologies track—with Christoph Reinhart sharing an urban energy modeling platform, and Angeline Focht (a BAC alum) on using virtual reality in architectural practice.

What are you most excited about the future of the building industry?
I’m most interested in closing the gap between design and construction and increased diversity across the professions.
