Technology has become the staple of a modern workplace—but it has also become a challenge for designers and architects. The technology should be seamlessly worked into the space, and sometimes it needs to be out in the open while other times it can be hidden in a space. Regardless, it always needs to easily accessible and never lose its functionality. To find out how designers and architects are approaching technology integration, we sat down with Eric Lockwood, business development executive at Tangram Technology, for an exclusive interview.
GlobeSt.com: When it comes to integrating technology into a workspace, where do you start?
Eric Lockwood: Integrating technology systems into a physical space first of all requires a clear understanding and appreciation of the architectural design concept for that space. There are endless options for making a piece of equipment fit into a room, but a fundamental objective should be to ensure it complements the visions of the client and the architect for that space and the experience they want to create within it.
