Track: Digitization

The panel will focus on an impact on innovation, operational efficiency, and customer experience. Strategies for developing and communicating an effective value proposition will be discussed, highlighting their impact on competitiveness and business success.

As the digital age unfolds, the architectural and design landscapes are undergoing transformative shifts, primarily driven by the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This presentation will explore the intersections of design and technology, emphasizing AI's evolving role in shaping responsive, adaptive, and sustainable spaces. We'll delve into how AI's algorithms, particularly generative AI, are revolutionizing traditional architectural paradigms by offering tailored solutions for diverse environmental contexts. By showcasing real-world applications and drawing parallels with historical design movements, we aim to highlight AI's potential not just as a tool, but as a collaborative force that merges human creativity with algorithmic intelligence. The future promises spaces that are not merely built but are dynamically crafted, anticipating and responding to human needs. Attendees will gain insights into the challenges, opportunities, and boundless horizons that lie ahead in the confluence of AI, architecture, and design. CC1.4

As the construction industry faces challenges in reducing its ecological footprint and increasing productivity, new technologies such as computational design, digital fabrication, IoT, robotics and artificial intelligence offer the promise of affordable, fast, sustainable and customisable architecture.  

SES, SteelEmbedSystem, is a new integrated pre-industrialised slab system. The system is a very high quality and extremely lightweight slab solution in both mixed and dry designs. SES intelligently combines the design of OSB, galvanised steel sheet, EPS and concrete to maximise performance and deliver a high performance floor.

Bussle is a tool that tries to improve cognitive accessibility on public bus transport through an App for the end user and a Web-based Dashboard for the carer, responding to what is a legal right according to Law 6/2022, of 31 March.

The digitalisation trend is also present in the construction sector. In particular, Witeklab has developed sensors that can monitor processes such as the real-time setting of in-plant or precast concrete, or the evolution of corrosion processes in the rebars of reinforced steel structures. These sensors obtain data from inside the materials, which are post-processed in the cloud to provide decision data to the owner or manager of the construction site or infrastructure.
