October 3: New York City

Innovation Conference 2013 
Smart Cities: Design, Technology & Urban Life

This year’s Innovation Conference will bring together top professionals to illuminate critical issues in digital technology as a pervasive force in the design and planning of buildings and cities.  Understanding the role of digitization in every aspect of urban life is increasingly essential for practicing architects: data mining for planning and public policy; information technology embedded throughout the built environment; and the use of high tech tools in the fabrication of innovative building materials.  As the profession tackles such key issues as urban density, the expanding public realm (both virtual and physical), and the design of new construction to respond to the sophisticated demands of a hyper-connected society, architects must be armed with the most current technological information.
