NXT BLD 2023

The impact of Artificial Intelligence on design, construction, and laser scanning, will be one of the key topics under discussion at NXT BLD (Next Build) on 20 June 2023. The dual stream conference, exhibition and networking event will be hosted by AEC Magazine in partnership with Lenovo, at the prestigious QEII Centre in London.

We will have the latest in early development technologies and design tools, with leading practices sharing innovative applications of advanced digital workflows on complex projects.

Conference topics

There is a renaissance underway in design tool development, as different emerging technologies mature and come to market, finding their way into new applications, new cloud services and new hardware.

NXT BLD provides a forum for the industry to discuss and evaluate the benefits of these BIM 2.0 tools and workflows, together with showcasing research from global universities and practices.

Below you will find details of our first batch of NXT BLD speakers for our inspirational conference, with many more to be announced soon on www.nxtbld.com

Adi Shavit, chief science officer at Swapp will talk AI and how to crush months of detail modelling and drawing production into under an hour.

Michael Drobnik, associate lead at Herzog & de Meuron, will share his latest research and workflows at one of world’s most progressive architectural practices.

Greg Schleusner, director of design at HOK, will be showing his functional proof of concept of a digital data bridge to connect disparate / locked-in BIM workflows.

Dr Sarah Surgeoner, founder of Creative Building Performance will share some hard truths about sustainable design and digital twins.

Chun Qing Li, founder of Kreod will present the cutting edge of digital fabrication through the development of highly-detailed models from concept to construction.

Mark Van Den Burghand and Tiemen Strobbe of Qonic will show some of the pre-beta capabilities of its new BIM tool.

Martin Bach, founder of Aurivus , and machine learning expert will talk about how AI can create BIM models by recognising real-world objects in point clouds.
