Why manufacturing is the future of construction at Autodesk University in Seoul

In fact, we think it’s likely the procurement process will suddenly become more akin to a model like Amazon.

Currently Professor of Construction Management at The Bartlett, UCL, Glass has spent over twenty years in roles spanning academia, industry, government and its associated bodies.She’s looked at construction through more lenses than most, and her ability to act as a conduit between practice, policy and the scholarly world is particularly valuable at this critical moment.As the construction eco-system leans into change and innovation, we’ll foster dramatic improvements to productivity, quality, safety and sustainability, creating a better built environment for ourselves and future generations.

The path to our goal involves extensive research, a commitment to nailing down nomenclature and standards, and the creation of a home for digital technologies and the young workers who will help us to drive the industry forwards.The process deserves both our commitment and excitement.. Driving innovation through Transforming Construction Network Plus (N+).

Since 2018, Professor Glass has served as Director of Transforming Construction Network Plus.

TCN+ is part of the UK Research and Innovation’s (UKRI) Transforming Construction Challenge, along with The Construction Innovation Hub, The Active Building Centre, and a raft of other UK based projects involving academic and industry stakeholders.Surrounding these are the supporting activities and tools which inform and leverage the physical components: spatial analysis, digital tools, and delivery.. ‘Spatial Analysis’.

uses data from projects or programmes to create insight into what should be included in the physical ‘kit of parts’.This will help to ‘develop and adopt shared requirements and common standards’ as described in the ‘harmonise, digitise and rationalise’ policy.. Spatial Analysis considers the requirements of the spaces that make up assets (lighting, air change rates, thermal comfort, acoustics and so on).

It also includes details of the technical performance of the physical components that make them..This is a key step in defining a Platform but also in creating a digital marketplace.
