Today, buildings and architecture contain a vast array of technological installations, including air conditioning and air purification systems, doors, switches, heating and plumbing systems, security systems, and smart control systems. The iF DESIGN AWARD looks behind the façade to face exciting innovations in building technology that will promote both sustainability and efficiency.
