CoDe Conference: Mark Burry, and a Next-Gen Architectural Manufacturing panel

Let’s end the year with something new! The 2022 cohort of Computational design students is giving their graduation presentations at BVN, and we’re going to piggyback their event.

Professor Mark Burry will be giving the keynote, which will be followed by an open mic/ panel.

There will be food and drinks and hobnobbing after, and the graduating students will race through their presentations in 120 seconds each; a good chance to find out if you want to hire one or two of them.

We’ll be going all afternoon, so you’re welcome to come whenever you like. Please RSVP so that we know how much food to get. The pizza was gone in less than a minute last time, so we want to avoid people getting too hungry.

Keynote: Mark will discuss digitalisation of creative architectural practice, and outline some of the dilemmas (and opportunities) we face with AI and its uptake inside and outside architectural practice today.

Panel: An open mic discussion on productivity, performance, and sustainability issues in Australia’s AEC sector’s digital transformation.
The recently founded ARC Centre for Next-Gen Architectural Manufacturing Centre aims to educate the next generation of AEC practitioners. We, the panel, would like to discuss with you where pain points and bottlenecks are in order to feed these into the framework of the training centre.
