Research & Development, and architectural wellbeing
Our clients are ambitious and have a global perspective. Through a dedicated research & development (R&D) and wellbeing team we offer design solutions for interiors, architecture, city environments and infrastructure. Our research outcomes benefits clients, end-user and environment long-term.
“Architectural technology, or building technology, is the application of technology to the design of buildings. It is a component of architecture and building engineering and is sometimes viewed as a distinct discipline or sub-category. New materials and technologies generated new design challenges and construction methods throughout the evolution of building. Architectural technology is related to the different elements of a building and their interactions; it is closely aligned with advances in building science.”
