CTBUH Assemblies form a large umbrella around a topic, akin to a special interest group. They are intended to be multidisciplinary and facilitate discussion and outputs regarding best practices and the latest innovations. These assemblies meet virtually several times a year and many were involved in organizing and hosting the workshops at the CTBUH 2023 International Conference in Singapore. The Council is launching three new assemblies/committees in 2024. If you are interested in collaborating with colleagues in these areas, please fill out the forms below.

Assembly of SMART Technologies

As buildings and cities are required to be smarter, we are looking for members in this sector to come together and discuss the latest developments and technologies in the built environment. This forum will focus on the technologies behind the smart component but also how they interact with users and urban infrastructure. Smart is also the way to achieve new levels of sustainability, artificial intelligence, and our relationship with nature. A workshop at the CTBUH 2024 International Conference, New or Renew: Addressing the Density Dilemma, 23–27 September, in London and Paris, will be the first undertaking of the assembly.

If you are interested in joining SMART Technologies assembly, please complete this form by Thursday, 22 February.

Assembly of Tenants

Knowing more about tenants in our cities has long been a goal of CTBUH. This assembly will focus on the people -private individuals, corporate tenants, and commercial organizations- who live in tall buildings. What do they think? Why did they do it? What are their expectations? What are their concerns? This assembly is for tenants, state agents, property managers and in general for all those working on making high-rise living a unique experience. This is an assembly to discuss the challenges and innovation opportunities that a life in the sky can bring. A workshop at the CTBUH 2024 International Conference, New or Renew: Addressing the Density Dilemma, 23–27 September, in London and Paris, will be the first undertaking of the assembly.

If you are interested in being involved in this assembly, please complete this form by Thursday, 22 February.

If you know someone who is a tenant in a high rise, and you think they might be interested in participating, please share this link to the form: www.ctbuh.org/TenantsAssembly

Adaptive Reuse Committee

There is a significant and growing need for discussions around adaptive resuse. This committee will draw from all parts of the industry with interest in the vast opportunity to address climate and sustainability, commercial redevelopment and investment, and housing.

At the CTBUH 2024 International Conference, New or Renew: Addressing the Density Dilemma, 23–27 September, in London and Paris, this assembly will host a workshop exploring the question, “Why not Renew?” What steps are most critical to making renewal viable and the preferred option? What is the possible housing, public policy, and funding solutions that can help pave the way for renewal?

If you are interested in the Adaptive Reuse Committee, please complete this form by Thursday, 22 February.
