Challenges are emerging within the construction industry, causing diversification of roles, workflows and educational transformations. This has resulted in unifying and integrating the built environment on city, country and global levels due to Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, cloud computing and big data analytics.
Architectural Technology is at the centre of the construction industry where the relationship between these factors creates many interfaces. Academics and Professionals associated with Architectural technology are best positioned to enhance the design, delivery and performance of integrated buildings within cities at large.
This congress will be a vehicle to disseminate research, education and practice related to this theme investigating both social as well as physical, technical, operational and strategic effects on Digitally integrated Cities.
The purpose of the Congress is to contribute to the progression of research within the discipline of Architectural Technology worldwide and to publish the results for the benefit of society.
The Congress and the research it initiates and disseminates must be independent of political, economic and ideological interests as well as dominating influence from organisations, institutions.
It is the firm belief of the Congress board that true development on behalf of society is a result of free debate and presentation of different views and perspectives. As a means to encourage research and scholarship within the field of Architectural Technology, the Congress facilitates regular conferences and secures publishing of the conference proceedings.

A student competition event will be held to showcase and identify best projects based on predetermined design and sustainability criteria.
The event is individually based providing you with a great platform to present their university design work. Entrants must be a current student, studying full or part-time on a programme in Architectural Technology, Architecture or a related subject.
We would love to host students from institutions locally, nationally and internationally. It is our hope that the dissemination of work from a wide range will be informative and inspiring.
Lecturers and other delegates are welcome to attend, but please register to ensure there is sufficient catering provision.
Students will be required to submit a mix of design and technical content for your project. Entries should demonstrate how students have addressed as many the following criteria as possible:
