Integrating with Uncertainty
What happens when the materials we need to build are subject to the whims of foreign policy? When and world trade markets evolve daily? Canada faces mounting pressure to rethink both its dependency on foreign building components, and the way we design and build –– from the ground up. Cole's talk explores emerging strategies for decoupling supply chains, spurring domestic construction innovation, and capitalizing on emerging technology to building a more self-reliant and responsive construction economy. Cole explores how we can build a construction ecosystem capable of resiliency without compromising on scale or affordability.
