Beyond the Blueprint: The Future of Structural Forensics & Safer Buildings - Sandbox Extra FOMO5 3, from ‘Investigating Structural Forensics’
from Sandbox from Buro Happold · host Buro Happold
What could the future of forensic engineering and building safety look like? In the latest episode of our Sandbox podcast, ‘What’s the Crack? Investigating buildings through structural forensics,’ our panel looks ahead to 2046 and explores how structural forensics could evolve over the next two decades. The conversation covers the growing role of AI, supporting legislation, data analysis, and structural health monitoring, as well as the importance of better digital records. As buildings become more complex, climate conditions shift and expectations around safety increase, structural forensics will remain essential to understanding what has gone wrong and helping to prevent it from happening again. Joining our regular host Andy Duncan, are Buro Happold experts Julian McFarland, Director, and Jan Anil, Associate Director, and special guest Emily Clift, Legal Director, Kennedy’s Law. Discover what the future could look like by listening to this week’s episode.
