The six month, paid, off-site design fellowship, organised by Google's R+D for the Built Environment, has been awarded to four candidates to advance, test, and share their work. Selection for the fellowship was made from 80 applicants from 17 countries who submitted research proposals in the key R + D topic areas: 

1. Building material science

2. 3D printing, robotics, AR/VR

3. AI, machine learning, analytics, building intelligence

4. Quality housing at a lower cost

5. Building resiliency and sustainability

6. Workplace optimization

7. Adaptable environments

Kostas’s research will focus on reducing the environmental impact of envelope construction, through the use of multi-materials. More information on the fellowship can be found on the R+D website
