If we want to get into AI in construction, and even digital twins, we have to put the building blocks in place now.

He feels these new tools will help architects improve designs, outcomes and generally “achieve better things for clients.”.In other words, it’s the combination of productisation and technology that becomes the truly enabling factor..

Currently, Marks says, “we're letting people design with things that aren't real, and we're letting them make them less real by stretching them, or only looking at geometric shapes.You actually need discrete data, you need the connection with the maker as the architect.In order to set the right parameters you need generative design, you need multi-dimensional CAD like Revit, you need those things in order to make the right decisions.”.

So, what advice does Amy Marks have for moving the industry forward?.“Everybody right now, if you're an architect or a builder, you should be working on your foundational skills with the baseline, anchor, portfolio products,” she says.. It’s then what she calls the “connective tissue” technology, the tech which forms between those products to connect them to other products, which will be the key to getting from “conceptualisation, design, to make, to operate,” she says.. Productization: building a raft in the ocean of construction.

The process of productising the pieces and parts involved in construction will help inform our understanding of what technological connective tissue is missing, as well as what we need to do to fill in the gaps.. Amy Marks compares the productisation of those elements to building a raft or reef in the middle of the ocean.

Whether it be a generator, a panel, a bathroom pod, or something else, productisation will provide something solid to work with inside a sea of fluidity, something we can “actually track through and map…”.Investment tends to focus on individual technologies, but the podcast stresses the importance of understanding the ‘network value’ and integration of these solutions within a broader, complex industrial system, rather than viewing them in isolation.. 4.

Governmental Intervention is Essential to Drive Change:.The market alone is unlikely to deliver the necessary speed and scale of decarbonisation in these sectors.

Mandates (‘sticks’), like those seen for SAF, and incentivisation (‘carrots’), such as carbon sequestration payments, are essential for stimulating investment and progress.. 5.Re-evaluating Global Supply Chains for Carbon Footprint:.
