On Friday 5 July, the Amsterdam Academy of Architecture will be organizing the Midsummer Night Lecture, an annual lecture that marks the end of our academic year. This year's edition will be delivered by VR-evangelist and founder of WeMakeVR, Avinash Changa. He will take us into the world of immersive technologies; the current state, the future and of course the applications for architecture and urban planning.
