How We Collaborate

To support our technology aspirations, Perkins&Will built a secure, mobile, and resilient technology infrastructure platform. Our hybrid infrastructure relies heavily on the Cloud, enabling seamless collaboration among our design teams, consultants, and, most importantly, our clients. Regardless of their location, we can connect and work together with anyone, anytime, anywhere.

We believe in democratic technology. The change we want to see in the architecture and construction industry will only happen if everyone joins forces across professional backgrounds. The world we live in allows us to be connected and collaborate through many spaces - digital or physical. We aim to establish a presence in both realms and invest in technologies that enable us to reach this goal, all while upholding our moral and ethical values.

To reach all participants, we offer a variety of engagement formats ranging from in-person public workshops, written comments to online surveys and virtual focus groups. These engagement tools should be varied in time, location, and format so that everyone has meaningful access.

Anywhere, Anytime

The best design comes from a close team collaborating, when talented people can quickly share ideas that inspire each other. Perkins&Will’s strength is our people, yet as a global, distributed practice our challenge is connecting our talented people so they can create their best work. We have built our technology platform with remote collaboration as a founding principle.

Design Innovation

The convergence of design, technology, innovation, and research empowers us to create places that improve how we live and work. To stay at the forefront of innovative design, a dedicated team works across all studios and practices to ensure the latest design technology innovations are applied to our interdisciplinary design process.
