AIA and Tect Partner to Improve Alignment Between Architects and Manufacturers
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) and Tect App, Inc. today announced a partnership to examine the workflows and decision-making processes in the preliminary stages of building design and how technology can lower barriers to increased engagement.
Tect is developing a communication platform that prioritizes human connection and facilitates direct access to knowledgeable product experts, with additional geolocation and privacy controls architects have been asking for. In support of this new method for the transfer of product knowledge, and as part of its Smarter Together initiative, AIA seeks to understand the shifting dynamics of architects and building design professionals involved in product selection and specification.
