How AR Glasses Are Changing Architectural Design

Episode 32 explores how augmented reality glasses are revolutionizing architecture and building design. From early-stage sketching to on-site construction verification, firms like Foster + Partners and Kohn Pedersen Fox are using spatial computing to overlay 3D models onto real-world contexts. We discuss how AR reduces costly rework, improves client presentations, and enables real-time collaboration across global teams. A specific case: how a major hospital project saved an estimated $2 million in change orders by catching structural conflicts through AR glasses before concrete was poured. Plus, the tools behind the shift — from Microsoft HoloLens to Apple Vision Pro — and what's next as AR glasses get lighter and more powerful.
