About This Course

The best technology in a luxury interior is the technology you cannot see. This course introduces interior designers to the category of architectural AV. in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, disappearing displays, recessed keypads, and invisible control surfaces. that allows technology to serve the space rather than compete with it. Attendees leave with a vocabulary for specifying architectural AV and a workflow for coordinating with the technology integrator during the interior design phase.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this course, attendees will be able to:

  1. Identify the primary categories of architectural AV products. in-ceiling speakers, on-wall art-frame displays, recessed control surfaces. and explain where each is appropriate in a refined interior.
  2. Coordinate with the technology integrator at the material selection phase to confirm that specified finishes, trim profiles, and millwork are compatible with architectural AV product requirements.
  3. Specify blocking, rough-in, and finish-surface requirements for recessed speakers, hidden displays, and flush-mount control devices.
  4. Evaluate product cut sheets for architectural AV devices to assess finish quality, trim options, and surface preparation requirements.

Why This Matters

A television that arrives on-site after millwork is built and exceeds the cavity dimensions by 1.5 inches is a problem with no good solution. A control keypad specified in a wrong gang configuration requires a new rough-in box and wall repair. These conflicts are prevented when the designer and integrator are sharing drawings. not just talking about the project.
