Meet the Team
“Our role at AWS is to support the BDAA to get information to building designers around new products that meet evolving standards. We also take the time to clearly communicate how they can integrate these into other systems. It’s about finding the mid-point between cost-effectiveness and quality.” Farzan Naghshineh, AWS Architectural Specification Representative
