Mastering Movement™ Academy
Brought to you by Construction Specialties
Movement—whether of people, light, air, or structure—is central to responsive, resilient, and high-performing design. This academy explores how architects and engineers can anticipate and accommodate physical, environmental, and systemic movement to create buildings that are adaptable, efficient, and future-ready.
Courses in this collection address everything from structural flexibility in tall buildings to climate-responsive design strategies like sunshades and AI-optimized data centers. Learn how to align design aesthetics with performance, support occupant flow and comfort, and engage with broader themes of sustainability and climate justice. Whether you’re shaping interiors or entire campuses, these courses will help you master the art and science of movement in the built environment.
