| Abstract: |
This paper shows how small-scale temporary installations can be valuable real world demonstrators for key social and technological issues, and opportunities facing the construction industry and engineering profession. Historical precedents are presented first and three contemporary case studies are discussed.Rock on Top of Another Rockis a project where the use of LiDAR scanning and 3D-printing technologies allowed the creation of scale models as a design, analysis, and communication tool.The Smilepushed the use of a material, hardwood cross- laminated timber, to the next level. AndThe Circular Buildingapplies circular economy principles to the built environment. These installations not only demonstrate an innovative concept now, but aspire to act as a catalyst for large-scale change and inspiration similar to their precedents. |
