Teulo Ed | Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technologies in Architecture with Applications in Tiling

Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technologies in Architecture with Applications in Tiling | 10am - 1.15pm

Speaker: Claudio Pertusati | Renoir

Synopsis: How Artificial Intelligence is Reshaping Architectural Visualisation in Practice.

This talk explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping architectural visualisation in practice. Claudio will walk through real-world examples across projects ranging from residential homes to billion-dollar developments. No hype, no buzzwords, just practical applications used by architects and interior designers today.

The session will show how AI can help communicate the cultural intent and design nuance behind a project, transforming concepts into aspirational, photo-realistic imagery. You will learn why high-quality rendering has become essential for presentations, marketing, and stakeholder alignment, and how the latest tools make this process faster and more accessible than ever.

Presented by Renoir, a leader in premium visualisation for the AEC industry.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• Understand how AI-powered visualisation tools are influencing architectural communication and design presentation.
• Apply AI-based workflows to translate sketches, product imagery, or 3D models into high-quality architectural visuals.
• Assess the potential efficiency gains of AI-assisted rendering compared with traditional visualisation methods.

Speaker: Fernanda Fiuzu | Central Innovation | Principal BIM Specialist

Synopsis: Mastering Open BIM: Fundamentals and Best Practices.

In this talk, Fernanda will explore the principles of Open BIM and its benefits for collaboration, coordination, and interoperability in architectural projects. It will provide practical guidance on preparing and exchanging models across different software platforms, along with best practices for maintaining clear, coordinated, and efficient workflows. Attendees will gain insights into how Open BIM enhances communication between disciplines, streamlines project delivery, and enables more effective use of BIM tools.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• Understand the core principles of Open BIM and its role in improving collaboration and coordination across disciplines.
• Explore practical workflows and strategies for preparing, exchanging, and managing BIM models effectively between different software platforms.
• Identify best practices for implementing Open BIM to streamline project delivery, ensure model accuracy, and enhance interoperability.

Speaker: Peter Raimondo | OBSF

Synopsis: Compliance V.S. Getting it Right - The Influence of the Building Envelope

Key Learning Outcomes:

• Understand the role of building enclosure engineering and its impact on durability, comfort, and overall building performance.
• Evaluate compliance pathways within the building code and recognise the limitations of prescriptive approaches versus performance-based design.
• Identify key building science principles including airtightness, thermal performance, condensation risk, and material assemblies to improve detailing and specification.
• Apply a holistic approach to building envelope design that enhances occupant comfort, energy efficiency, and long-term building performance beyond minimum code requirements.
