Shamrock+ Presents to Chicago Architecture Center
August 25, 2025 – Ryan Murphy, President and Co-Founder of Shamrock+, was recently invited to present to the Chicago Architecture Center for the second time, speaking to members of its docent and volunteer network about emerging technologies transforming the built environment.
On June 10, Murphy shared insights on emerging technologies transforming the built environment. He highlighted Shamrock+ services such as high-resolution 3D scanning, LiDAR technology, digital twins, contour mapping, and advanced reality capture solutions. These tools support accurate documentation of existing conditions, construction progress, and historic preservation efforts, while enabling data-rich decision-making across every stage of a project.
The Chicago Architecture Center recorded the session and now provides access to more than 450 volunteers who serve as educators, docents, and program leaders.
Caroline Duda, Senior Director of Volunteer Services, said, “I was fascinated by the capabilities of the drones. The potential impact on design projects, especially in terms of efficiency, is impressive.â€
Murphy, a licensed architect, leads efforts in Architecture Continuing Education. He regularly presents to AEC firms and industry institutions nationwide. Through Shamrock+, he shows how visual data empowers urban planners, preservation specialists, engineers, and contractors to make informed design decisions, preserve history, and improve outcomes.
