Tuesday, November 19, 2024 | 12-1 p.m. Eastern Time
1 LU/HSW
The winners of IMI’s JBC Masonry Innovation Competition are boldly redefining design and construction practices now and into the future. The innovative projects explore new possibilities for the masonry industry, from augmented reality-aided construction, to flood control solutions, to circular economies for brick, and zero carbon block. Join us to hear about the groundbreaking real-world projects, research, and conceptual ideas from this year’s winners.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn how augmented reality can facilitate the construction of complex masonry structures while reducing material waste and time spent on layout.
- See how masonry can be a reusable and recyclable solution for flood control that connects communities to their waterfronts and supports native plants and wildlife.
- Realize brick’s potential as a circular building component that responds to present-day environmental challenges.
- Explore a zero-carbon, algae-based Bio-Block that could significantly reduce emissions in construction.
