The conversation of the night:
Architecture Activated: How Architecture Shapes Cities
Architecture at scale doesn’t just change skylines — it activates entire cities. In this keynote, James Pearce of Populous will explore how major sports and entertainment projects can become catalysts for economic growth, cultural connection, and lasting legacy.
Through global case studies, James will share how venues like Kai Tak Sports Park and Climate Pledge Arena are designed to regenerate urban areas, foster inclusivity, and create enduring impact. He’ll also dive into the strategies, leadership skills, and cutting-edge technologies — from digital tools to AI — that make these complex, city-shaping projects possible.
What you’ll take away:
– How large-scale projects can promote economies, activate cities,
and create new opportunities.
– Frameworks for designing venues that foster inclusivity, community, and long-term legacy.
– Strategies for integrating culture and place into urban-scale projects.
– Project leadership lessons for navigating complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives.
– Insights into how digital technology and AI support legacy-driven outcomes.




The conversation doesn’t end with the keynote. Architect duo David Ponting and Frances Young of Ponting Fitzgerald Architects will lead a live Q+A with keynote James Pearce — bringing fresh perspective, uncovering opportunities, and connecting global ideas with local practice.
David Ponting brings 35 years of experience and a reputation for design that draws deeply from the landscape it inhabits. Known for his creative energy and client-first approach, David has shaped projects that deeply resonate with people and place.
Frances Young has spent 18 years at Ponting Fitzgerald Architects, and now directs the creative process, from developing and refining concept designs, through to exquisite detailing of the completed interiors.
Together, David and Frances will guide an engaging, architect-led dialogue with James— exploring the innovations, and solutions that are actively shaping architectural practice today.
