PrefabAUS presents 'Why Factory Built is the Future of Design' at MDW 2026

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.

Thanks to RMIT Post Carbon Research Centre and Foundation Technologies Australia.

Passivhaus and Prefab in Australian Learning Environments

Passivhaus and Prefab in Australian Learning Environments

prefabAUS together with the Australian Passivhaus Association, ArchiTeam Cooperative Ltd and Learning Environments Australasia present this in-person event in Sydney with Knut Menden.

Knut will showcase a leading-edge case study about the German International School ​Sydney where each mass timber classroom was preassembled offsite and then craned into place in less than 90 minutes per building — all while being designed to the Passivhaus standard!

This case study will be followed by a panel discussion featuring:

Damien Crough - Co-Founder and Executive Chairman at Prefab Australia Daniel Smith - Managing Director at Leaf Architecture | Executive Director at Learning Environments Australasia

Knut Menden - APA Member | Co-Founder at betti&knut architects

Alexia Lidas - CEO at Australian Passivhaus Association
