The digital age is here and it is fundamentally reshaping the built environment and dramatically changing your client’s needs and expectations. Regardless of the type of spaces or buildings you design, the challenge of weaving our technology-enabled lives into the design is becoming the new normal for architects, interior designers, landscape architects, and urban planners. We are witnessing the evolution of the digital age with a flood of smart and connected devices seamlessly embedded into every aspect of our lives from our homes to offices, hospitals, schools, hotels, restaurants, and cities at large. It is an exciting, and at times scary, transformation in which design professionals are key players. Love it or hate it, this is what’s next, and it has already started. We hope you’ll join us to learn more.
