"Technology is changing how designers and builders collaborate more effectively throughout the project lifecycle," said Emilio Krausz, President of Microsol Resources. "TECH Perspectives will share the newest innovations shaping our built world and invites all project stakeholders from architects to engineers, constructors and owners, to engage with technology and forge communities around it."
This year's Opening Keynote speaker is Dr. Andrea Chegut, Director of the MIT Real Estate Innovation Lab, as well as the head of MIT's Design X venture accelerator for student and faculty firms from MIT's School of Architecture and Planning. As a researcher, she investigates new technologies and their economic implications on the built environment.
The Industry Keynote speaker is Jim Lynch, vice president and general manager of Autodesk Construction Solutions. He leads Autodesk's efforts to create and deliver products and services that accelerate the construction industry's transformation from analog-based processes to digital workflows.
Attendees will hear from design technology innovators on the following:
Collaboration & Building Information Modeling (BIM)
With BIM at the core of your project delivery, the need for anytime, anywhere, collaboration, data continuity comes into play. How do we make sure we're all working on the most up-to-date information and maintaining a single source of truth?
Attendees will hear from Jeremy Munn, program director of Northeastern University; Nirva Fereshetian, associate principal chief information officer (CIO)of CBT Architects; Paul Kassabian,p of Simpson Gumpertz & Heger; and Jack Moran, Manager of virtual design and construction (VDC) Services of Consigli Construction.
Visualization: Enhanced Realities & Immersive Experiences
Technology enables visualizing spaces and render architectural models in immersive environments, utilizing augmented reality to create three-dimensional objects within a real space, and creating a virtual reality (VR) walkthrough based on your BIM data. What are the new ways to better visualize, share and construct projects?
Atendees will hear from Michael Kyes, architecture team of leader of SMMA; Danielle O'Connell, senior manager, VDC Services Innovative Construction Solutions of Skanska; Andy Hinterman, senior associate of LDA Architecture & Interiors; David Hamel, 3D visualization group manager of Payette; and Seunghyun Kim, director of design technology of Safdie Architects.
