Last year, 630 ocean-going vessels, about 90% of the gross tonnage dismantled globally, were broken down on three beaches in South Asia. This dangerous and intense work carries important lessons for how the design and construction industry might approach disassembly and offer opportunities for re-use and recycling. Hear how both industries might learn from each other.

From a coffee house starting from over 330 years ago to the world's oldest and most established global insurance platform. What can Lloyd's of London teach the Construction Industry about transformation, innovation, and resilience? Conceptually, the parallels are surprising and the implications intriguing. The conversation turns to the inefficiencies of the current project delivery models. No stone is left unturned in this discussion as it turns its specific focus to removing transactional waste, maximizing value, and increasing trust through innovative business solutions paired with technology.

Will machines ever be able to design buildings? Rather than debating about whether or when this might happen, we can ask, What if it did? How might architecture evolve if computers completely took over the design and construction process? This talk will explore the implications of a built environment undesigned by people. Automation has the power to revolutionize the design industry and possibly eliminate architects in the process. Can architects get smarter about solving serious new challenges, or will they risk becoming obsolete?
