Webinar: Integrated Technology Platform for Mass Timber High-rise Construction
Presented By: Intelligent City
Build Smarter. Live Better. Think Change
1 AIA HSW
Our industry is currently facing 3 major problems at the same time: the need for the creation of urban housing that is more affordable and more desirable, the urgent need to address climate change, and the systemic lack of required innovation.
This program will introduce participants to an integrated design-engineering, product and technology platform-based approach, to address these problems, through a focus on the industrialization of carbon-neutral mass timber building systems for high-rise construction for resilient urban densification.
Learning Objectives. Attendees will ~
Learn about a product approach with integrated mass timber systems building for high rise construction
Learn about the necessity to change design, collaboration, and procurement paradigms for prefabricated buildings
Learn about a path towards carbon neutrality by considering design integration for embodied, operational, and behavioral carbon, and Passive House compliance.
Learn about integrated technology platforms that enable end-to-end solutions including the use of advanced software, virtual pre-construction or digital twins, and automated manufacturing with robotics.

Presenter:
Oliver Lang is the CEO and Co-Founder of Intelligent City, a Vancouver-based housing technology company with the mission to build smarter, empower people to live better, and deliver buildings that are life cycle carbon neutral, through the use of intelligent software and advanced robotics manufacturing applied to mass-timber construction, from their advanced manufacturing plant in Delta BC.
Intelligent City delivers fully integrated solutions for mixed-use mid-to-high rise buildings with Passive House certification and as a first, compliant with the high-rise mass timber building codes in Canada and the US. He is a co-author of the just-published 12-storey Mass-Timber Practice Guidelines by the AIBC and GEBC.
He is a graduate of Columbia University, GSAPP, with an MSc in Advanced Architectural Design and holds a Dipl.Ing.Arch. from the Berlin University of Technology with studies at the ETSA Barcelona. He is a licensed architect in BC, Alberta, New York, and North Rhine-Westphalia Germany.
Recognitions, among many others, include being a winner of the 2020 Breakthrough Energy Solutions Canada $30M grants program, Solar Impulse Foundation Efficient Solution Label, winner of a LafargeHolcim North America Silver Award for Sustainable Construction, and a Governor Generals Medal for Excellence in Design. Intelligent City recently won several significant grants through the NRC IRAP, SDTC, NRCan IFIT, and Clean BC programs, and in 2021 closed a Series A investment round.
He has more than 25 years of experience in the world of architecture with a truly global perspective, having lived and extensively worked in 6 countries on 4 continents.
