FUTURE BUILDING PODCAST

Over the last 100 years, the building industry has been deeply resistant to change. It is now regarded by many as a last frontier, ripe for disruption. Future Building takes a fresh look at the opportunities for change, examining news and trends along with research and developments from the field.

Join Professor Mathew Aitchison for interviews with experts who share their knowledge and insights into the industry and what is coming down the pipeline. Future Building is sponsored by Building 4.0 CRC, a cooperative R&D hub leading innovation in the building industry.
