Maintaining a competitive edge in our rapidly evolving business landscape is no easy task. Old systems and the inability to adapt to the latest technology can put many industry professionals on their heels when it comes to meeting client demands. However, leaning into the winds of change can prove to be both an operational advantage and a gateway to greater creative control for architects, designers, and structural engineers. The Business and Technology of Architecture Academy focuses specifically on how to best integrate new design software and communication tools to maximize the available resources and returns in this digital age. Streamlining processes, responding to design changes, and incorporating client requests in real-time is not only possible, but also a must for thriving architects and designers.
