Unit 7 - Future frameworks for next technologies

Conveners:
Lowe, Robert (United Kingdom) / Rilling, Jacques (France) / Bourdeau, Luc (France)

Overview:
The need to respond to climate change, to develop and deploy new energy technologies and the impacts of globalisation and the IT revolution will transform the technological base for the built environment over the next 50 years. This theme will deal with possible next technologies, their relationships to existing technological and social contexts, and the strategic support frameworks that they require.
