On 26th Jan 2019 (Saturday) we are delighted to have Prof. Roger Bruno Richard to deliver the lecture on Industrialization of Construction: Sustainability and Adaptability. This is one of the workshops conducted for the project Improving and Exporting Hong Kong Industrialized Construction Services under the Belt and Road Initiative, which is supported by Hong Kong Government's Professional Services Advancement Support Scheme. All interested are welcome.

1. The strategies & technologies of Industrialisation are capable of
delivering affordable and high quality architecture to the vast majority
of people. The products are not standardized buildings but
Industrialised Building Systems: sets of coordinated parts and rules
where the same details are generating diversified and individualised
buildings located on different sites; yet achieving more sustainability
than traditional construction (higher quality, change without demolition
and less deficiencies / waste / embedded energy).
Having extensively experienced precast concrete panel construction
so far, Hong Kong is now ready for the next stage: optimal factory-
finished systems accommodating change through space and time.
Once amortized over the large market of Hong Kong, those systems
will become highly competitive for exportation.
