Technology | Architecture + Design Editorial Board Call for Candidates

Technology | Architecture + Design (TAD) seeks candidates to join the journal’s Editorial Board.

Together, the Editorial Board conceives, develops, and executes the activities that advance TAD’s mission to be an essential source for new knowledge about the translation, integration, and impact of building technology on architecture and design.
