Representatives from Lendlease visited UQ VisLab as part of a broader facilities tour and partnership discussion at The University of Queensland.
The visit brought together Glenn Agius, Director, Development Project Management and Operations, and Megan Lohrisch, Regional Sustainability Manager, from Lendlease, with Associate Professor Fred Fialho Teixeira, Associate Professor Joe Gattas, Liam McNamara and Chloe Budd from UQ.
Discussions centred on current UQ VisLab research into bio-based materials for architecture and the built environment, including bio-derived pigments and colour-based material samples, as well as algae–clay building components produced through robotic additive manufacturing. The group also exchanged ideas on augmented reality-guided timber assembly and digital twin research, considering how these emerging approaches could support future research and industry collaboration.
The VisLab session formed part of a wider UQ facilities tour, which also included the Fire Lab and the Timber Hub, followed by discussions on broader partnership and project opportunities.
