Innovation doesn’t make an impact without application. In this issue of Design Quarterly, we explore how technology is reshaping design and the built environment. It’s helping to accelerate project delivery and lower coordination barriers. It’s also key to protecting budgets and schedules and using resources more responsibly.
Inside this issue:
- Data center buildings design: Why cross-disciplinary coordination is essential to delivering mission-critical facilities on time and at scale
- Mass timber construction: How an evolving design-to-manufacture workflow is making sustainable, prefabricated buildings viable for widespread adoption
- Discrete event simulation: How design teams use predictive modeling to stress-test complex systems—healthcare, science, industrial—before a single line is built
- Campus decarbonization: How universities can unlock district energy, data center waste heat, occupant behavior, and wastewater to cut emissions and meet climate goals
- In-house fabrication: Why leading design firms are investing in fabrication shops to prototype ideas, refine details, and deliver better buildings
Read the full issue to see how applied innovation is shaping the next generation of buildings, campuses, and communities.
The Stantec Design Quarterly tells stories that showcase thoughtful, forward-looking approaches to design that build community.
