Australia’s foremost architectural practices and professional bodies have come together to establish the ARC Centre for Next-Gen Architectural Manufacturing . We aim to transform the national architectural profession to meet Australia’s immediate strategic needs in terms of productivity and climate goals. Being a partnership between academia and industry, we will triangulate world-leading researchers, visionary practitioners, and talented graduates to integrate state-of-the-art research into architectural
The Australian Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector is worth over AU$134 billion a year to the national economy. However, it faces major challenges. The sector consumes natural resources and energy at unsustainable rates, while also being responsible for a significant portion of national carbon emissions. Further, it has been slow to adapt to advances in architectural computing including industry-specific applications of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Digital Fabrication, and
The adoption of advanced computational methods across the architectural profession and service industry is estimated to lead to time and cost savings of up to 15%. In Australia, this would mean an annual operational saving of AU$900M, equivalent to 6000 new jobs in the sector.
