The American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) are pleased to announce a partnership dedicated to the integration of education, research and practice of technologies at the 2016 AIA Convention in Philadelphia. This conference will focus on TECHNOLOGIES; specifically innovative technologies and unknown areas that will revolutionize the built environment. We invite practitioners and researchers to share their investigations on impactful technologies, ideas in testing stage, or profound mechanisms that have the potential to reform the design and building industry.
