Technology in the Built Environment

As technology plays an increasing role in our lived experience, it has become an essential design tool for architects and consultants focused on improving end-users' outcomes. Whether you're an architect, interior designer or a manager of real estate and technology, understanding these tools, their impact on the built environment, and their potential to transform end-user experiences is critical.

This half-day AIA CEU event is designed to help you stay ahead.

You’ll spend the afternoon attending four design-focused, AIA-accredited courses led by industry leaders. Each session explores how emerging technologies like audio integration, display systems, and control platforms are being applied in real-world projects with intent and precision.

The program will close with a roundtable discussion featuring architects and technologists discussing how these tools are reshaping design workflows and long-term outcomes. Finally, join us for a networking happy hour in TAD’s adaptive, tech-enabled space to continue the conversation with peers and presenters.

You’ll leave with:

• 4 AIA Learning Units earned in one afternoon
• Practical insights into real-world tech applications
• A stronger understanding of technology’s evolving role in design
• New connections across architecture, real estate, and tech

This is a focused opportunity to learn, engage, and explore what’s next in the built environment.
