Also we consider how robotic construction is being put into practice by looking at the plans for the Robot Science Museum in Seoul, and discover how advances in BIM capabilities are introducing the Internet of Things (IoT) into building information modelling.
Plus we round off our season of Bauhaus content with a look at what the architecture school means for today’s architects, discover how architecture is being used in space and speak to a rising star within the field.

Overhauling the rulebook: the RIBA’s new fire safety guidance
At the end of last year, the RIBA unveiled a draft of its plan of work for fire safety, in direct response to the Grenfell tower tragedy and subsequent Hackitt Review. Proposing the streamlining of fire safety practices earlier on in the design process, could it give the industry some much-needed clarity over its obligations? Ross Davies reports.

BIM and the IoT: the grandest of all designs
Building information modelling (BIM) has become widely used in architecture, but now a growing number of products are integrating internet of things (IoT) capabilities. Patrick Kingsland takes a look at how bringing the two technologies together might add new capabilities and asks what it all means for architecture.

Next issue – August 2019
In the next issue of Design & Build Review, out in August, we’ll be looking at sustainability within architecture, a topic that is currently enjoying growing interest from developers and clients alike.
We’ll look at how mass timber construction is being used to create functional but sustainable structures, and find out how innovations are driving the development of true eco-cities where environmental credentials are considered at all stages of development.
Plus, we’ll also look at a project that is set to bring large-scale upcycling to the architectural agenda and profile sustainability pioneer Rozana Montiel, winner of the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture 2019.
