Dealing with Digital Disruption in the Built Environment

Dealing with Digital Disruption

The Dealing with Digital Disruption research stream seeks to lead the transformation of the built environment through the power of digital innovations, applications and emerging technologies.

As we navigate a rapidly changing landscape, where digital transformation, data analytics, and AI redefine the way we design, construct, and manage our built environment, this initiative empowers academia and industry to leverage cutting-edge tools for sustainable, productive, and smart buildings and infrastructures.

We focus on integrating advanced digital solutions – such as BIM, AI, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and digital twin – to streamline processes, improve decision-making, and foster collaboration across the entire lifecycle of built assets. 

By addressing the challenges of digital disruption head-on, our research stream aims to revolutionize the way cities grow, adapt, and operate, ensuring the future of the industry is more efficient, sustainable, and human-centric.
