Presentation content:
The Rise of Digital Master Builders
For centuries, being an architect meant being a builder. As early as the mid-16th century, the term “Architekton” in Greek referred to the Master or Chief Builder. Architects were not only the master of spatial design but also closely involved in the construction process. Their designs blended creativity and practicality, considering how buildings would be physically constructed, operated, and adapted over time.
What factors contributed to the erosion of the integrated role of architect, engineer, and contractor over time? In what ways is technology enabling the reunification of architects, engineers, and contractors in ways that were previously not achievable through traditional methods?
Chunq Qing Li (AKA Lee), the founder of KREOD companies, will share his experience in architectural design, KREOD Integrated DfMA Intelligent Automation (KIDIA) software development and construction. He will showcase how technological advancements that have enabled property developers, architects, engineers, manufacturers, suppliers and contractors to collaborate more seamlessly.
Li will also address the limitations of Building Information Modeling (BIM), highlighting that it is insufficient for the needs of the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industries, particularly in the construction sector. Instead, he will advocate for Integrated DfMA (Design for Manufacturing & Assembly) Intelligent Automation workflows and business models as the way forward. These integrated approaches offer enhanced efficiency, productivity, and effectiveness in construction, fostering harmonious collaboration among various disciplines.
