This session explores how cross-disciplinary alignment transforms potential friction into innovation, creating media-rich spaces that leave a lasting impression.

Going beyond "screens on walls", architecturally integrated media embeds storytelling into the built environment, optimizing form and function to deliver a unique and memorable user experience. These experiential environments don’t happen in isolation—they emerge when architects, engineers, technologists, and clients collaborate from the earliest design stages.

Using three real-world examples attendees will see how early collaboration between creative, architectural, and technical teams ensures coordination and alignment on critical success factors while reducing risk and avoiding rework.

In this session we will discuss:

• The importance of alignment—goals, schedule/phases, deliverables, and budget(s).
• Effective information exchange throughout design and implementation
• Stakeholder conversations: what to have, and when.
• Getting real, fast! - the power of mockups, prototypes, and client buy-in.
• Common "Gotchas" and strategies for addressing them.

This session invites attendees to rethink project workflows, embrace experimentation and iteration, and build stronger, more connected design teams.

Admission is subject to room capacity and available on a first‑come, first‑served basis.
