FABE Strategic Plan


The Faculty's Strategic Plan aims to establish it as a premier institution in AI-driven building conservation through a phased approach. In the short term, Phase 1 focuses on foundational integration, incorporating AI modules into the curriculum, training faculty, and introducing relevant case studies. Mid-term goals include Phase 2, developing research initiatives and an AI Conservation Lab, and Phase 3, enhancing industry partnerships and aligning policies with government and technology firms. Long-term, Phase 4 seeks to brand the faculty as a global leader, offering specialized education and forming international alliances, ultimately serving as an industry consultant on AI-powered heritage preservation.

Strategic Plan for AI-Enhanced Faculty

Vision Statement

To establish the faculty as a leading institution in AI-driven building conservation, integrating smart technologies for heritage preservation, sustainable design, and adaptive reuse.

Phase 1: Foundational Integration (Short-Term)

Objective:

Build foundational AI knowledge and integrate it into existing architecture, landscape, and QS programs.

Action Steps

Incorporate AI modules into the curriculum, focusing on heritage conservation applications.
Develop introductory AI-driven conservation courses for architecture, landscape, and QS students.
Conduct faculty training on AI tools like Glodon, Revit, and machine learning for building diagnostics.
Introduce case studies on AI-assisted restoration to familiarise students with industry applications.

Phase 2: Research & Innovation Hub (Mid-Term)

Objective:

Position the faculty as a research centre for AI applications in heritage conservation.

Action Steps

Launch interdisciplinary research projects on AI-powered structural analysis and energy optimisation.
Establish an AI-Driven Building Conservation Lab to test machine learning models for predictive maintenance.
Partner with AI research institutes to explore heritage documentation and conservation modelling.
Secure funding for pilot projects, such as AI-enhanced restoration assessments of historic sites.

Phase 3: Industry Engagement & Policy Alignment (Mid-Term)

Objective:

Strengthen collaborations with stakeholders in conservation, smart buildings, and sustainability.

Action Steps

Collaborate with government agencies on AI-driven conservation policies for historic buildings.
Form partnerships with technology firms and AI specialists for smart restoration solutions.
Engage with urban planners to integrate heritage preservation into smart city frameworks.
Organise faculty-led conferences & public outreach to build recognition in AI-powered conservation.

Phase 4: Faculty Branding & Specialisation (Long-Term)

Objective:

Establish the faculty as a global leader in AI-assisted building conservation education.

Action Steps
