Don't Just Imagine the Future Build It: How Information Became the Infrastructure of Interior Construction

The future of construction is often discussed in terms of new materials, technologies or products. Yet the industry's biggest challenges stem from an older problem: disconnected information. Every day, project teams recreate data, translate intent and manage friction when design, specification, manufacturing and construction operate separately. As expectations for speed, flexibility and sustainability increase, this fragmented approach is difficult to sustain. In this session, Diane will draw from real-world examples, including the development of 4SPACE Rooms and a partnership with Autodesk. You will explore how connected data,manufacturable intelligence, AI and integrated workflows are changing not only how spaces are designed, but how ideas move from concept to reality. Learn why information is a foundational layer of the built environment, how digital workflows reduce friction across a project lifecycle and what organizations must do to bridge gaps between innovation and adoption.
