Description
This subject introduces the evolving trends and technologies that challenge traditional architectural and construction practices. Through a combination of forums, workshops, guest speakers, field visits, and case studies, this subject will facilitate critical thinking about how emerging technologies can be meaningfully deployed in the built environment industries. The subject will examine case studies that exemplify new approaches, processes, methods, concepts and best practices, providing an understanding of topics such as Building Information Modelling, lean production, life cycle carbon, technical nutrients, embodied energy, off-site manufacturing, industry 5.0, design for manufacture, blockchains, digital twins, mass customisation, and other emerging processes.
