In our Podcast series “Sh*t You Wish Your Building Did!”, Memoori explores the intersection between technology and commercial buildings through interesting conversations.
For Episode 30, we were joined by Nick Clark and Mike Brooman to discuss architect Aukett Swanke’s recent acquisition of the assets of Vanti.
We discussed the reasons behind the acquisition. It’s Aukett Swanke’s 4th acquisition within a year and we also discussed their plans to improve the delivery of smart building technology on commercial building projects.
