Agenda + Schedule


Future Developments

Floating Cities

In response to steadily rising sea levels and increasing extreme weather events, settlements and/or entire cities that float on water are being positioned as a potential solution to urban expansion demands. Concepts have been announced in countries such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Japan, the Maldives and the United States.

+

Climate Adaptive Design

Façade Engineering

Beyond aesthetics, a building’s façade is a crucial element that directly affects how it performs with regards to light control, acoustic intrusion and extrusion, managing heat absorption and heat loss, resisting environmental influences and so much more.

+

Future Trends

Structural Engineering

Artificial intelligence, sustainable construction concepts, prefabrication and smart materials are shaping the future of structural engineering. The summit will discuss the rise of AI-driven tools to enhance structural integrity, seismic resilience and load optimisation; efficient construction through 3D printing and prefabrication, and autonomous construction tech.

+

Rehabilitation

Refurbishing Concrete Structures

Structures built with concrete or reinforced concrete can become damaged and/or unsafe due to age or other factors. However, they can be repaired and rehabilitated by leveraging cutting edge techniques and modern smart materials, safely extending the structure’s operational life.
