Rethinking design and construction
RESET\ is more than an update to existing practices. It is a call to rethink the relationship between digital design, physical production and construction.
The conference will bring together experts from architecture, engineering, research and industry to examine the transformative impact of artificial intelligence, automation and robotics on façade development and construction production.
