This month at Buro Happold - May 2023
Welcome to the 'This month at Buro Happold' newsletter. In this month's issue, we look at highlights from May, including validation of our Science Based Targets, a close look at digital twins and an introduction to our new partners.
Digital twins and the importance of data
Digital twin technology is increasingly important within the built environment. But do we all understand exactly why and how?
A digital twin is a virtual replica of a physical asset that is driven by data. In the built environment, that physical asset is a building or infrastructure. This article explores how digital twins are used to understand how a building will perform and interact with users.
Urban C:lab - Middle East, Asia and Pacific
A group of Buro Happold's innovative thinkers met in Semarang, Indonesia, to discuss the future challenges they see for our urban environments.
Buro Happold's Urban C:lab programme aims to explore emergent disruption in the built environment, planning and innovating without hierarchy.
The group identified a number of common themes they'll continue to explore in more detail across future meetings, including revitalising ageing urban assets and the importance of mitigating and adapting to climate change.
