Architects are in a position to offer unique insights and expertise that can significantly enhance the development and implementation of AV systems.

With a strong understanding of how people interact with public spaces, architects can leverage their knowledge to integrate AV into the design process of a building to make it not only functional, but also intuitive and engaging for users. By considering factors such as accessibility, ergonomics, and user behaviour, architects can help create systems that seamlessly integrate into the overall building experience.

Creating inclusive spaces is vital in today’s world. By utilising AV technology to incorporate features such as automation, closed captioning, audio description, and tactile controls, architects can help to make public buildings more welcoming and inclusive for all.

In addition, architects' focus on sustainable building practices can be applied to the selection and integration of AV systems. By choosing energy-efficient equipment and considering the long-term maintenance and upgradeability of AV systems, architects can help to reduce the environmental impact of public buildings.

For the AV industry, architects have a role in fostering innovation and collaboration. By facilitating open dialogue and sharing knowledge with AV experts, technology providers, and other stakeholders, architects can help to drive the development of new and innovative AV technologies. Moreover, the architectural industry’s expertise can provide guidance on regulatory requirements when considering AV, to streamline the design approval process and minimise risks.

Architects bring a unique set of skills and perspectives to the field of AV technology. By leveraging their expertise in design, user experience, sustainability, and collaboration, architects can contribute significantly to the development and implementation of AV systems to enhance the functionality, accessibility, and sustainability of public buildings.
