Why The Buildings of The Future Will Be Shaped By … You.

If you are interested in architecture (which I’m guessing you are because you’re here), this TED Talk is definitely worth a watch.

This video is an excellent example of what can go right when technology and innovation connected to the people it serves can have a positive impact.
