DESIGNING OUR FUTURE
GIS FOR ARCHITECTURE, ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION
Apply the geographic approach to architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC).
Location intelligence is changing how land development and large infrastructure undertakings take shape. From new residential construction to planning a modern urban experience to building a high-speed rail system, a geographic approach helps pave the way to better, more sustainable designs.  
In Designing Our Future: GIS for AEC, see how the AEC industry is implementing geographic information systems (GIS) to improve workflows, bring context to projects, and increase collaboration between governments, contractors, partners, and the public. With GIS, architects, engineers, and construction professionals are discovering new efficiencies, gaining deeper insights about complex projects, and transforming the way they plan, design, build, and operate in the built and natural environment.
