ARCHI-TECH partners with InfoComm International® for the annual ARCHI-TECH AV Awards program, now in its eighth year. The program honors outstanding examples of the creative and effective integration of technology into traditional construction projects.
Each of the AV Awards judges—two architects, two AV integrators, and two technology consultants—evaluated the entries using the following criteria: concept, design, innovation, scheduling, teamwork, and solution. Sustainability was also considered.
The winners were recognized during InfoComm's annual tradeshow in Las Vegas.
Each project will become the subject of its own webinar. Formatted as a virtual panel discussion, you can hear from the professionals who created these award-winning projects and learn about the design and technology challenges they overcame.
Credits
The webinars for these projects are approved by AIA for earning one AIA/CES Learning Unit, and by InfoComm International® for earning one CTS Renewal Unit (RU).
