A network is to set up with architects, manufacturers, builders, developers and state agencies to build alliances of experts interested in joining, supporting and benefiting from flexible infill systems; (3) through experimental mock-up flat the research will demonstrate a usable space of 60 sq.m (equivalent to a 3 bedroom unit in Harmony II) can be obatined in 51 sq.m (2 bedroom unit). It targets on a reduction of the waste output by 35% in building refurbishment. (4) Two refereed papers in international journals; (5) this research is pilot study, the finding of which will be used for a more ambitious research based RGC grant. |
