Architecture

This panel showcases Australia's manufacturing renaissance, bringing together leaders demonstrating that factory construction isn't about reducing design ambition, it's about amplifying it whilst fundamentally transforming our environmental impact.

Our panellists represent Victorian design-led innovation across building typologies:

Evissa exemplifies how precision manufacturing enables Passivhaus-certified architecture—buildings that deliver exceptional thermal comfort, indoor air quality, and virtually zero operational carbon.
Modscape+Modbotics demonstrates design-led modular construction across residential and commercial projects, proving that prefabrication enables bespoke architectural sophistication whilst reducing waste and build timelines.

prefabAUS, provides the industry perspective on how this transformation creates high-skilled Australian manufacturing jobs whilst establishing the circular economy principles that will define sustainable building for the next century.

Join us for the panel discussion followed by networking drinks nearby.
