Concept: Today, multi-disciplinary teams from all over the world have to collaborate in order to bring a physical product from idea to market. A professional design tool enabling them to work collaboratively in real-time, directly in 3D would ease this process. But building a design platform for manipulating and rendering large 3D data in real time for such a wide range of users is an enormous technological challenge.

Before the refurbishment started, the local authority had around 1,500 bedsits right across the city.

Retrofitting Europe’s buildings for energy efficiency is not enough to slash the carbon footprint of the construction sector and cut emissions in time to meet the Paris climate agreement goals, according to Dr Catherine De Wolf, assistant professor of design and construction management at TU Delft in the Netherlands. She says that we need to design buildings to make them recyclable – but doing this will require a fundamental restructure of the construction industry.
