I am pleased to announce that I have been invited to give a lecture at USC's 2010 BIM Conference: BIM Analytics.
My lecture is tentatively titled: Feedback Cloud: Tactics for Toolset Integration and Design Optimization.
The talk will outline the digital processes used on some recent NBBJ projects as well describe a few experiments for creating performance-driven design solutions in a team made up of diverse participants using a multitude of tools.
By coordinating customized tools and workflows, Feedback Cloud.....
1. Embraces technological difference within a team.
2. Provides an adaptive framework for design change and variation.
3. Links together design and analysis for a performance-driven process.
My talk is tentatively scheduled on Wednesday, August 4th @ 1:30-2:00.
The conference is free, however you will need to RSVP here.
