The AIA Technology in Architectural Practice Knowledge Community (TAP) serves as a resource for AIA members, the profession, and the public in the deployment of computer technology in the practice of architecture. TAP leaders monitor the development of computer technology and its impact on architecture practice and the entire building life cycle, including design, construction, facility management, and retirement or reuse.
The call for volunteer terms starting in January 2024 is now open! Learn more about joining the TAP leadership group, or learn about other volunteer opportunities across the organization.
Join us in San Francisco on June 7 for the TAP Symposium at A'23, a continuation of our TAP BCC series!
