DESCRIPTION:We are very excited to welcome Laureate Prof. Sarah Pink from the Monash University, Melbourne, Australia to our upcoming Constructive Conversations event on Wednesday, 29 October 2025 from 10:00 - 11:30 a.m.\nSarah Pink, Director of the Emerging Technologies Research Lab and FUTURES Hub, will give a lecture on “Construction work futures and the “twin” transitions".\n\n\n\n\nTopic:\n\n\nConstruction work futures and the “twin” transitions\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\n\n\nLaureate Prof. Sarah PinkDirector of the Emerging Technologies Research Lab and FUTURES HubMonash University, Melbourne, Australia\n\n\n\n\nDate:\n\n\nWednesday, 29 October 2025   |   10:00 - 11:30 p.m.\n\n\n\n\nWebex-Link:\n\n\nThis lecture is part of the AdvanceAEC partner seminar series. Please register or log in to access the event credentials.\n\n\n\n\nThe lecture will take place online.\nAbstract\nIn this talk I explore construction work futures at the intersection of the “twin” digital and sustainability transitions. While both transitions often drive academic research, and policy and industry agendas, they tend to have been considered in isolation from each other in construction scholarship; or where related, digital transitions are arguable catalysts for clean energy and electrification. \nMy agenda is to explore and complicate possible work futures by bringing into dialogue dominant assumptions or visions about technologically driven transitions proposed by industry, government and consultancies, with social science knowledge about how people working in the industry imagine and experience possible futures, or imaginaries. To demonstrate this I draw on team-based collaborative design and futures anthropological research on construction work futures in Australia undertaken 2020-2025.\nI propose an ongoing research agenda which understands the future construction industry workforce as a dynamic and diverse group, both shaped by and shaping digital and sustainability transitions in complex and sometimes unexpected ways.\n©Prof. Sarah Pink\nBio\nSarah Pink is a an award winning design and futures anthropologist and documentary filmmaker, whose work is influential internationally both inside and beyond academia.
