Book release: Construction 4.0 – An innovation An Innovation Platform for the Built Environment

Our Co-founder Evnagelos Pantazis has co-authored the last chapter of a book that deals with the convergence of trends and technologies that promise to reshape the way built environment assets are designed, constructed, and operated. Nested under the umbrella term of industry 4.0 a number of paradigm shifting technologies in the field of manufacturing and the introduction of programmable logic controllers have emphasized the concepts of increased digitization and automation, modularization of production, mass customization and self-organization. The book is edited by Anil Sawhney, Michael Riley, Javier Irizarry and features a collection of distinguished researchers and practicioners around the globe that operate at the forefront of the discipline. Drawing upon both his professional experience and academic research at the University of southern California, Evangelos along with number of distinguished authors from the field of AEC including Eyuphan Koc, David Gerber and Lucio Soibelman persent a taxonomy of Construction 4.0 concepts and technologies set the stage for the corresponding stages of diffusion each concept or technology is currently demonstrating. Based on their synthesis of multiple concepts and methods the emerging trends and the future research directions are outlined

Artificial Reef

Artificial Reef

The past 6 months our team been busy working on a new project that dealt with the rehabilitation of sea life through the design of modular artificial reef structures that provide habitat to different kind of species.
The brief included the design and fabrication of the module as well as its deployment in 30m deep water and the study of integrating sensors.
We are excited to announce that first round is successfully completed and we will be able to soon release material with the design research that we conducted
