Video Presentations: Autonomous Buildings: Creating Sustainable and Resilient Cities

The places we enjoy the most are the ones that make us feel a positive emotional response. It could be a local neighborhood with familiar cafes and restaurants or exploring the unfamiliar streets of a new city. Lendlease’s approach to placemaking will be outlined as part of the foundation of effective urbanization. Placemaking is approached as a collaborative process that requires a deep understanding of the local context and engagement with project partners, government, and the community to co-create a meaningful, authentic, and inclusive place vision. Successful placemaking requires the skill to not only define the best of all possibilities but the discipline to deliver that vision sustainably and in partnership with communities.

Autonomy, through digital technologies and data, delivers abundant opportunity as a fundamental enabler of innovation and disruption to reshape the built environment. Through a continuous feedback loop of rich data made available by the buildings’ digital infrastructure, we can learn how the spaces, places and services provided are being consumed, enabling continuously improved design decisions for the benefit of people, the environment and to deliver efficiencies and cost savings.

We believe Autonomous Buildings will disrupt every aspect of the traditional property lifecycle, unlocking efficiencies and performance benefits from inception through to feasibility assessment, design automation, supply chain automation, manufacture and assembly as well as the performance in operation and enhancing the place experience.
