There is a revolution underway within the construction technology sector that is opening up unprecedented opportunities for architects, engineers and builders. The interface between traditional design and construction is being eroded and concepts of mass production and assembly are starting to shake up the way projects get delivered.
This panel discussion brings together entrepreneurs and technology providers to talk about the latest advances in technology to support Design for Manufacture and Assembly, construction efficiency and collaboration. They will also talk about what it takes for owners, designers and builders to leverage these tools to best effect, the value created and the business benefits.

Oliver David (OD) Krieg is President at Intelligent City, and an expert in mass timber, industrialized manufacturing, and advanced building technologies in the AEC industry. With a PhD in robotics and parametric design for timber construction, he is leading the company's strategic vision and execution. Under his leadership, Intelligent City is scaling its mass timber product platform for high-rise multi-family housing by integrating building systems, advanced manufacturing, and software automation to revolutionize urban housing. Before becoming President, Oliver jointed Intelligent City as CTO in 2018 and helped raise a Seed Round and Series A as well as apply for several government grants.Prior to joining Intelligent City as CTO, Oliver was a research associate and group leader at the Institute for Computational Design and Construction (ICD) at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. There, he led and participated in several international research and built projects that explore architectural potentials in timber construction. The resulting material systems and prototypes evaluated the structural and spatial possibilities, ultimately pushing the boundaries of today’s architectural design research.Oliver taught workshops and held lectures on architectural design, manufacturing, and timber construction, across the world, as part of his academic career at the ICD, where he also taught in the ITECH MSc program. Between 2014 and 2017, Oliver was a scholarship holder of the German National Academic Foundation for his dissertation. His work won many national and international awards and was published in numerous magazines worldwide.In 2018, Oliver founded the design firm odk.design to continue his research in the dynamic relationship between manufacturing technology and contemporary wood design.
