      What does the fourth industrial revolution mean to the design and engineering of façades of the future? We are experiencing a global technological revolution and the ‘archaic’ construction sector is at a crossroads. The global challenges of climate and the environment in combination with rapid urbanization calls for radical change in a highly fragmented sector, where definitions of disciplines and construction practice do not readily lend themselves to swift transformation and innovation. Technology and engineering may offer some of the possible solutions, but the challenges of the necessary transformation are formidable and will require new mindsets and new capabilities.
