Editor’s
Viewpoint By Mark Buckshon
Publisher, Chicago Construction News
This Florida Construction News issue focuses on
some fundamental technological changes radically
reshaping how architects, engineers and contractors
work. The story here is vitally important to understand
because the technological revolution will truly shake up
the established order, business relationships and
practices. Not everyone, I realize, has the same interest in
embracing change, especially when it is coupled with
uncertainty, dislocation and disruption. However, in my
opinion, it is far better to be ahead of the curve than
caught behind it – and the changes, indeed, will happen.
Consider what has happened to the publishing
industry in just the past five years. Long-established
newspapers and broadcasters which had thrived for
decades suddenly saw their businesses shrink; to the
point that many local publications have closed, and many
national ones have become midgits.
As a publisher, I’ve been fortunate to stay in tune with
the changes, making friends with Google – to the point
that I’m invited to annual parties at Google’s Mountain
View headquarters. This year, the meeting will be in the
futuristic conference center described in this month’s
article. We’ve designed this publication to be primarily digital,
yet for those who wish it, have the feel and style of a
traditional magazine. It is also responsive. Even in the
digital era, there are human stories, experiences, and
accomplishments and I hope we can continue to convey
your experiences and interests in the months and years
ahead. Please feel free to send your comments and
suggestions for future articles to
