Tickets include full access to the conference and exhibition, refreshments, lunch and drinks at the networking reception.When they’re gone, they’re gone. Simply use the promotional code 241AEC and you can pick up a pair for £65. Tuesday 11 June 8:30am – 6:30pm (conference starts 9:45am)Įxclusive 2-for-1 offer for AEC Magazine readersįor readers of AEC Magazine, we are offering a strictly limited number of tickets on a special 2-for-1 offer. We’re secretly hoping Boston Dynamics will train it to serve drinks at the networking reception! Event details You’ll also see the incredible four-legged machine navigate the throngs on the NXT BLD exhibition floor. You’ll learn how human-like mobility can bring automation to construction sites - think monitoring building progress through laser scanning, plus lots more. To say we’re excited to have Boston Dynamics’ autonomous SpotMini robotto visit us in person (Ed: In person? A robot?) would be an understatement. Here’s no escaping the fact that the robots are coming, whether that’s small autonomous machines that monitor construction progress or behemoths for fabrication on site and in factories. Mariana Popescu is also using computational design to define her complex stay-in-place knitted formwork, leading to bold new architectural forms in concrete.T You can see one example of his inspirational work below. Marc Fornes (Theverymany) will present leading research, designed to advance computational protocols and complex assemblies in architecture and beyond. Sophisticated computational design tools are also playing an increasingly important role as architects develop ever more complex forms to drive new construction techniques. Meanwhile, Paul Ehret (Felix Construction) will explain how knowledge is being embedded in facade panels to facilitate better design productivity together with improved fabrication. Xavier De Kestelier (Hassell Studio) will show the ultimate example of optimised design to fabrication with a breathtaking 3D printed habitat on Mars. Richard Harpham and Abhijit Oak will share the company’s transformation strategy for the global construction industry, which combines cutting edge fabrication technology with its Apollo software platform, a suite of applications designed to support building projects and teams from beginning to end. This includes Melike Altınısık (Melike Altınısık Architects), who has designed a building that will be built entirely by robots, Federico Rossi, who heads up DARLAB (Digital Architecture & Robotic Lab), and Mariana Popescu (Block Research Group), who is exploring new forms of concrete design.Įvery aspect of building design, from materials supply to construction is being optimised by leading US firm Katerra. This will have a profound impact on architecture and design, a theme that will be explored by several of our main stage speakers. The way in which buildings are being fabricated and constructed is changing dramatically, from robotic assembly of steel facades to 3D printing in situ. There’ll also be a dedicated stream for design visualisation and VR, where topics include real-time viz, real time ray tracing, viz tools for architects and immersive design and collaboration. The main stage will feature inspirational presentations on advanced architecture, digital fabrication, computational design, autonomous robots, 3D printing buildings, design for manufacture and lots more. This year’s event is bigger, featuring two conference streams and a larger exhibition space in its new home at the QEII Centre.

Melike Altınısık will be coming from Istanbul to highlight her methodology and approach to using technology and innovation to change the construction of her projects, including this amazing Robot Science Museum in Seoul.
