Beyond 2020 conference

The Beyond 2020 conference will guide to sustainable built environment

How should the global building sector act to contribute to the UN’s goals for sustainable development? This is the burning topic for Beyond 2020, this year’s most important global conference on sustainable built environment, organized virtually by Chalmers University of Technology 2-4 November.

“The clock is ticking. The world’s building sector has ten years to achieve the goals in the UN’s Agenda 2030. The conference’s goals are a common roadmap to make it possible”, says conference host Holger Wallbaum, Professor in Sustainable building, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden.

Of the world’s population, 55 percent live in cities. In 30 years, that figure is estimated to have risen to 68 percent, according to the UN. This makes the sustainability perspective the biggest challenge for everyone who contributes to the development of urban environments. The rapid and large influx into cities places new demands that need to be met in an ecologically, economically and socially sustainable way.

The “Transformational Plan for the Built Environment” roadmap will be presented during the closing day of the conference. It will link the built environment with 11 of the UN’s 17 sustainability goals and lay the foundation for global and regional development strategies.

The roadmap will guide the entire sector

The basis for the plan is a framework that is based, among other things, on 25 years of research on sustainable building at Chalmers University of Technology. Based on the latest findings and new ideas, presented during the conference, the roadmap will be developed into a powerful tool to guide the entire sector in the work towards sustainable cities and communities.

The conference is divided into three sections: Climate change and sustainability, Digitalisation and innovation and Sustainable economy, policy and finance. Researchers from 45 countries on all continents contribute with over 300 scientific papers.

Speakers include Maimunah Mohd Sharif, Executive Director for the UN housing agency UN-Habitat, Thai landscape architect Kotchakorn Voraakhom, Barcelona’s mayor Ada Colau and Marcene Mitchell from the World Bank IFC.

“The conference will show how far we have come in a number of different areas that affect the built environment. With the help of the roadmap, we create an opportunity to quickly spread the accumulated knowledge to builders, property owners and city planners around the world, says Holger Wallbaum, the host of Beyond 2020.

More about the conference Beyond 2020, 2-4 November

Beyond 2020 is arranged digitally by Chalmers University of Technology in collaboration with Rise, The Research Institute of Sweden, Johanneberg Science Park and the city of Gothenburg. The conference moderator for Beyond 2020 is the British BBC profile Angela Lamont.

Originally, the conference was to be held in Gothenburg in June with up to 2,000 participants, but due to the current world situation with the corona pandemic, it is now conducted over the internet instead. Which means that all speakers, participants and visitors can attend without leaving home or the office.

“Carrying out the conference in the traditional way would have made it possible for us to showcase Gothenburg, which has been named the world’s most sustainable city in the last four years. But the digital format contains many advantages, not least from a sustainability point of view. And now we can receive many more visitors from, for example, developing countries, who may not have had the financial opportunities to travel here”, says Holger Wallbaum.

In addition, Beyond 2020 has the status of a World Sustainable Built Environment Conference (WSBE). Host cities are appointed by iiSBE, a worldwide non-profit organization whose overall goal is to actively work for initiatives that can contribute to building more sustainable communities. This year’s conference is the eighth since the start in 2000.

On October 29, 2020, the Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center will open the exhibition “House for Cars. Bakhmetyevsky and Other Garages”, which will show the era of the 1920s-1930s from a not quite familiar side: through the prism of the history of the Moscow garage.

The exposition in the space of the Jewish Museum – the former Bakhmetyevsky bus depot, built in the second half of the 1920s – will include three thematic sections that not only recreate the image of the era as a whole, but allow you to feel the specifics of the first decades of Soviet motorization and see the beauty of early garage architecture.

The exhibition will show projects of garages of the 1920s-1930s from Moscow and federal archives, including materials previously unknown to the general public, vehicles of this period, personal belongings and documents of such famous heroes of their time as Vladimir Mayakovsky, Viktor Shklovsky, Konstantin Melnikov, Vasily Shukhov and many others.
Exhibition curators: Liya Chechik and Olga Shurygina.

BIM Summit, Los Angeles, USA

27-28 October 2020

Los Angeles, South California, USA

The efficiency, coordination and outcome improvements delivered by building information modelling (BIM) makes its growing utilization in the AEC industry almost inevitable. BIM’s usage within Integrated Digital Delivery (IDD) optimizes the use of digital technologies throughout the 4 stages of the built environment lifecycle – Design, Fabrication, Construction and Asset Delivery & Management.

This is not digitalisation merely for the sake of doing it. As the AEC industry builds bigger and take on projects of greater complexity within shorter time frames, building efficiently and strengthening collaboration across the entire value chain will be mission critical.

The process of launching Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) practices throughout the United States, however, has been slow and selective. The hard bit for many AEC firms is determining how exactly to use BIM-related tools to transform processes and create important differences to outcomes.

To ensure the integrated use of BIM, firms need to elaborate digital strategies and develop policies valid for all projects. Without standard policies, the diffusion of BIM technology will be strictly based on the relation between client and contractor, with different methods for each project.

Join us at the BIM Summit to get insights into how BIM will become the versatile tool to launch IDD shared platforms and standards to support the larger adoption of IDD solutions. Hear from AEC professionals compelling case studies about BIM’s evolution to solve various industry challenges and its wider implication for business gains.

KEY BENEFITS OF ATTENDING:

• Scale to new heights in BIM innovation and embrace digitization as the core driver of Construction 2.0
• Discover what it takes to achieve smarter and sustainable designs with a deeper understanding of BIM and its applications
• Drive further automation and efficiency of processes through consolidated data sources and integrated platforms
• Optimize workflows through active collaboration with other project stakeholders in data-sharing channels
• Learn about the greater role BIM will play in shaping future built environments in the region

• Anna Queralt Fuentes, Circular Design Engagement Manager, Ellen MacArthur Foundation
Nawal Alhanaee, Head of Infrastructure Business Development at the UAE Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, who will be speaking at the event, says: “I’m very much looking forward to speaking at The Big 5 Digital Festival on how the United Arab Emirates is planning for future urbanisation.

“The Festival will bring together construction stakeholders and the industry to support new connections, foster dialogue, promote innovation, and facilitate business around the world,” Nawal adds.

The Big 5 Digital Festival will provide an extensive product showcase to enable global suppliers and buyers to effectively and safely conduct business. Over 500 companies will present their latest construction solutions to 20,000 expected attendees on the event’s purpose-built platform. This latter will enable one-to-one video calls, chats, and networking opportunities powered by an AI-based matchmaking software.

The pandemic is shaping irreversible changes in both the construction market and the business models; The Big 5 Digital Festival will help industry stakeholders harness this change, adapt, and grow bringing together international leaders and decision makers on a digital platform from 23 to 26 November 2020.

Face-to-face meetings at The Big 5 are expected to return in 2021, from 12-15 September at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

Modular Prefab & Construction Tech Senate Amsterdam April 2021

A digital disruption wave is hitting all industry sectors including construction and it is undoubtable that modular constructions can go hand-in-hand with technological development.

The basis of volumetric modular systems, or prefabricated construction, is the initial digital 3D design and the ability to utilise Building Information Modelling (BIM) to ensure the building is suitable for the planned location and design requirements. It is also behind the stackable modules used in several storey homes or larger industrial buildings, including hotels and office blocks.

McKinsey & Company calculated that, the market value for modular in new real-estate construction alone could reach $130 billion in Europe and the United States by 2030, delivering annual cost savings of $22 billion. In many countries, modular construction is still very much an outlier but there are strong signs of what could be a genuine broad-scale disruption in the making. It is already drawing in new competitors—and it will most likely create new winners and losers across the entire real estate and construction ecosystem.

Many factors determine whether a given market is likely to embrace modular construction, but the two biggest determinants are real-estate demand and the availability of skilled construction labor. In places such as Germany’s major cities and the southern part of the United Kingdom, labor shortages and large-scale unmet demand for housing intersect, making this model particularly relevant.

Join us at The Modular & Prefabrication Construction to earn insightful knowledge and fruitful discussion on understanding emerging construction technologies, including robotics, 3D imaging and even the use of RFID-BIM which are becoming increasingly leveraged to aid the design and development of modular construction. Those technological capabilities are enhanced, sped up and become more cost-effective and sustainable, when utilised in a controlled by factory setting.

WHY YOU CANNOT MISS THIS EVENT

• Learn how to enhance the prefab buildings design with an architectural approach
• Develop the right digital manufacturing line for precast modules
• Increase the efficiencies of modular construction with integrated supply chain system
• Understand the tendering and contracting system in modular construction
• Take advantage of the deployment of IoT, PPVC, DfMA, RFID-BIM, VDC, IDD, and prefab data center for off-site construction
• Exploring the applications of wood concrete composite panels, mass engineered timber, and steel concrete composite systems

Only limited seats are allocated for this Summit. Group registration package available with terms and conditions applied.

Lucca Biennale X Edition postponed to 2021

Aug 1st – Sep 26, 2021

X EDITION NEW DATES

As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic developments, the organizing committee of Lucca Biennale Cartasia has decided to postpone the tenth edition of the event from August 1st to September 26th, 2021.

We are working and will continue to work to maintain the safety of all those who work at or participate in the event, as artists and audience, and to maintain the integrity of the Biennale and its many sections.

That is why the Biennale does not stop. Great ideas are planned for the next edition: events, exhibitions, seminars, conferences involving countries such as Japan, as well as artists and speakers from all over the world. We are working on an edition rich in culture, art, events to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the event.

Postponing the event is above all a form of respect towards the city of Lucca, the participating artists and the public involved: we are going to be able to gather again in summer 2021, to live together the beauty of art.

After the tenth edition, in 2021, the eleventh edition will take place, as planned, in 2022 bringing the Lucca Biennale back to even years.

Thanks to every single person who continues to support us, we are at your disposal for any request.

To all, a deep wish for creativity, art and culture.
