ODIHQ@ODI Leeds Friday Lunchtime Lecture - What's the future of construction?

Location: Open Innovations - 3rd Floor - Munro House - Duke Street - LS9 8AG Leeds

Date: Friday 16 September 2016 1:00PM - 2:00PM

This event is live streamed from ODI HQ in London. Why can't construction be as smart as other industries, like aerospace, renewable energies or IT? Will construction ever evolve, making the most of the opportunity offered by data science and IoT? Or will the sector be disrupted by a giant smart city data monopolist that manages to crack construction site robotics? Will construction workforces be able to re-skill and re-train, or will a generic, self-optimising, embodied AI replace all engineers, surveyors, site managers and eventually architects and designers? In this lecture, Antonio Pisano will shed some light on the future of construction in a data-driven future. Antonio Pisano is a designer, public speaker and writer. Co-founder of Marcel Mauer Architecture and Smart City strategist at CAIRE Consortium, he has curated events and campaigned with major UK Construction Industry Institutions such as BIS, Constructing Excellence, G4C, RIBA, RICS, CIC, BRE and the ODI, to raise awareness on sustainability, innovation and open data.
