CASA Seminar: Technology and the built environment (Will Squires)
Technology and the built environment - from virtual reality to reality check

From digital twins to smart cities to artificial intelligence, the built environment sector is filled with buzzwords, abstractions and snapshots of truth about how technology impacts the world we live in. In this seminar, Will Squires will unpack his career, exposing some of the mistruths, some of the brilliant things happening in the sector, and trying desperately not to get caught up in jargon or things that aren't true, providing a slice of life experience from a leading consultancy driving forward the digital transformation of the built environment.
