Boyer moderates construction automation panel at 2025 Urban Tech Summit
Taubman College’s Bryan Boyer, faculty director of the B.S. in Urban Technology degree program, joined Cornell Tech’s Urban Tech Summit in November, where he led a panel discussion on “What’s Next for Construction Automation?” The annual gathering of “thinkers, doers, and advocates” is put on by Michael Samuelian, founding director of Cornell’s Urban Tech Hub, and Simon Sylvester-Chaudhuri, founder of CIV:LAB. The 2025 summit took place Nov. 11-12 at the Cornell Tech Campus in New York with a focus on “Adaptive Intelligence Activating Urban AI.”
Boyer’s panel featured Jenny Sabin, chair of the department of design and professor of architecture at Cornell College of Art, Architecture, and Planning, and principal and principal investigator at Jenny Sabin Studio; Alexandra Donovan, director of design and innovation at Assembly OSM; and Val Tzvetkov, director of emerging technology at Skanska. Together, they discussed agent-based design, supply chain, cross-digital literacy, and more.
