2013 R+D Awards Winner: AEC-Apps

Now, more than ever before, innovation in architecture is happening in the digital world, as SOM and Case Design’s new network demonstrates.

Between unending project demands and the hunt for future commissions, architects are expected to keep up with the ever-proliferating array of software. But which programs are worth the time it takes to learn them? The answer may lie in digital technology itself.

AEC-Apps, a website and social network co-developed by SOM and Case Design, is a crowdsourced information resource and exchange created specifically for architects, engineers, builders, and designers. The online forum is intended to foster dialogue about the profession’s digital toolkit.
