The advantages of digitalization have led to a situation in which the building industry is intensively addressing integrated methods of designing, building and operating.

For the architect Christoph M. Achammer, Professor at Vienna University of Technology, these will be impossible to ignore in the future: “Digitalization and sustainability go hand in hand. We receive better information on which to base decisions in the design and construction process as a result of which the quality is better for all participants.”

Christoph M. Achammer is CEO of ATP, one of Europe’s leading integrated design offices and an early mover on the BIM scene. He will also drive the discussion forward at the Autumn Congress of the IGLZ in discussion with other representatives of the sector. As a co-founder and honorary director of the IGLZ he was a member of the expert jury for the IGLZ startup initiative DBS, which will present its results in Vienna in just a few days time.

As part of this year’s Autumn Congress the IGLZ will present new solutions that have been successfully implemented into building lifecycles. Exemplary projects will show how digitalization is already optimizing existing processes and generating new revenue streams. There will be a focus on established solutions from practice and innovative implementation concepts across the four phases of the building lifecycle.
