Chair: Dr Adonis Haidar

Just like the previous year, we are hosting the BIM DigiTSS event (BIM & Digital Transformation Spring Symposium). The event aims to provide BIM-DT students and other PGT students with the opportunity to meet practitioners, researchers, and technology providers to gain insight into current trends in architectural and construction practice and research (Day 1: 18 April). Additionally, a group of former students who completed the BIM-DT program in previous years will be participating on Day 2 (April 19) by presenting their theses and sharing their experiences after graduating from LSA.

The BIM DigiTSS event is running over two days: Thursday & Friday 18-19 April 2024 between 11:00 – 19:00 at the Reilly, School of Architecture.

All staff are welcome to join. Food and drinks will be served.
