Description

Interview with Daniel Prohasky with a diverse background in architecture, civil and aerospace engineering. We will talk about his vision for the future of cities, his role as an advisor for sustainable resource management, his approach to technology as a tool, and many more.
Daniel Prohasky is an architectural engineer and roboticist passionate about translating research towards industry adoption in Australia, particularly in the building design and construction industry. He is the CEO and Co-Founder of Curvecrete, an advanced manufacturer and robotics development company with a focus on elegant low-carbon construction. He is also the founding lecturer in Architectural Engineering at Swinburne University and was Swinburne’s 2019 Design Faculty Innovation Fellow to further develop his innovative advanced manufacturing venture, Curvecrete. 
Daniel represents Curvecrete as a founding member of the NSW government’s MECLA (Materials, Embodied Carbon Leadership Alliance) program, on a mission to incentivise the use of low-carbon material use in construction to accelerate the implementation of solutions to the climate crisis. 
He has deep industry knowledge in applied research outcomes for multi-disciplinary engineering firms, in particular, Arup and Aurecon, and works across institutions and innovation precincts bringing teams together to solve some of the most pressing challenges in the building and construction industry. His focus is on the exploitation of advanced manufacturing and automation techniques towards more resourceful methods of construction; and the utilisation of higher levels of computational integration and interoperability to achieve the former in orchestration with all environmental, operational and construction factors. Daniel has his sights set on taking Curvecrete’s innovative process and product much further - to construction projects not just on Earth, but the Moon, Mars and beyond.
