Where design innovations & technologies come together

Technology is transforming the way that buildings and infrastructure are designed, constructed and operated. It is helping improve decision making and performance across the buildings and infrastructure lifecycle.

TechPerspectives seminars focus on the most exciting technologies driving significant change in the design and construction industry. For the third year in a row, The Architect's Newspaper and Microsol Resources combined forces to present a full day program of presentations from AEC industry leaders and co-locating TechPerspectives at TECH+.

This year, we heard from design technology innovators about collaboration & building information modeling (BIM), Intelligent buildings and IoT, and VR/AR.
