The Global Scientific and Technology Forum (GSTF) is organising its 5th Annual International Conference on Architecture and Civil Engineering (ACE) on May 8 – 9, 2017 in Singapore.
Conference Theme
Advances in Architecture and Civil Engineering are the order of the day with the rapid industrialization and urbanization seen in developed and developing nations. Innovative design and construction practices are challenging tasks to the architects and engineers to meet the ever growing demands of society. The conference is the première forum for the presentation of new advances and research results in the fields of Architecture and Civil Engineering. The conference will bring together leading researchers, architects, engineers and scientists in this domain of interest from around the world.
The themes of the conference are:
- Infrastructure Design for Regions in Rapid Development
- Infrastructure Design for New Vertical Cities
- Infrastructure for new Cities and Landscapes
- Design for Urban Infrastructure: Parks, Buildings, Streets and Systems
Keynote Speakers
- Prof. Mark S. Anderson – Department of Architecture, College of Environmental Design, University of California, Berkeley, USA
- Dr. Stephen Foster – School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of New South Wales, Australia: “Developments in New and Sustainable Concretes and High-Performance Reinforcing Materials and their Incorporation into National Building Standards“
- Dr. Tommy Chan – School of Civil Engineering and Built Environment, Science and Engineering, Queensland University of Technology, Australia: “Recent Advances in Structural Health Monitoring“
- Dr. Mark Burry – Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning, University of Melbourne, Australia
- Prof. Peter Anderson – Department of Architecture, California College of the Arts, USA
Conference Highlights
