Intelligent City (ICI) is a technology-enabled and platform-based urban housing systems company providing transformational innovation to the housing, architecture, building and construction industry.  Through the convergence of design, software technology and advanced prefabrication we combine three highly innovative paradigms that will change the value equation in architecture and urban design.

Our team is on a mission to empower people to live better, to build smarter, and to address climate change and urban housing challenges.  We think change – and we are looking for doers, integrators, professional hybrids, thinkers, and innovators that can help us achieve our objectives.

We take a product and platform-based approach, we vertically integrate high-rise mass timber building systems, advanced design-engineering, automated manufacturing, and parametric software. Through this, we offer breakthrough end-to-end building solutions that can be built faster with better quality while being more affordable and consistently carbon neutral.

We are broadly recognized for our leadership in bringing together climate tech and construction tech solutions, including by Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC), Breakthrough Energy Solutions Canada (BESC) and the Solar Impulse Foundation.

Intelligent City was co-founded in 2008 by entrepreneur Oliver Lang and Cindy Wilson, and is the sister company to Lang Wilson Practice in Architecture Culture (LWPAC). The two companies work closely together to deliver the vision of productized and platform-based buildings. The LWPAC team has executed award winning institutional and residential projects both nationally and internationally, and we have practiced and taught architecture in Berlin, New York, Barcelona, Valparaiso, Beijing and Vancouver.

Please note: Architectural employees will be employed by LWPAC.

Equal Opportunity Employer
We are an equal opportunity employer and have made a commitment to build a culture of innovation, diversity, and inclusivity, striving for open discussions, best hiring and operational practices.  We are also committed to providing a comfortable and accessible interview process, please let us know if we can support you throughout the process with accommodations.
