As we look ahead to the future, here are key insights shedding light on the dynamic relationship between technology and architecture that will redefine the way we design and construct spaces.

High technology is revolutionizing architectural design, altering both the process and end result of a new breed of innovative architecture that is disrupting the industry and heading in unexpected and exciting directions.

Technology in architecture—from computational design to apps—has architects doing more than designing and supervising the construction of buildings. They are pursuing new horizons in design, chasing algorithms, experimenting with adaptability, robotics, 3D printing and reality.

How to Use Tech to Enhance the Guest Experience

Technology is shaping hospitality design as hotels find new ways to adapt to sociocultural changes and personalize the guest experience. Smart features and gadgets—from dimmer switches to multifunctional spaces—are showing up in hotel interior design and redefining what constitutes a good stay.

However, hotels should avoid getting carried away when creating tech-savvy interiors. Not every guest wants to "plug in" when traveling. Some actually seek to disconnect from their tech-dominated lives. As always, balance is the key.
