Disrupting / Automating / Scaling URBAN SPACE

07.26.2024

5:30 - 7:00pm

Governors Island - Nolan Park - House 14

In partnership with the Center for Climate Adaptation and Pratt Institute, the Architectural Association Visiting School New York Programme will host a symposium on disruptive construction technologies, focusing on automation strategies and scalable solutions for the built environment. We will explore the latest advancements in these technologies and their potential impact on the architecture, engineering, and construction industry. The symposium will feature discussions on innovative construction approaches, the integration of automation in building processes, such as 3D printing, and the benefits of modular and prefabricated construction methods. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with field experts, examine case studies, and consider the future of construction in the context of these disruptive technologies.
