2013 Architecture Exchange East
This year, rather than my typical method of gathering required continuing education credits (ie: pouring through the back of my Architect Magazine, Architectural Record, Etc. and completing all the free online learning courses I can between Christmas morning and New Years Day) I had the opportunity to attend the Architecture Exchange East conference. The annual conference, which is put on by Virginia Society AIA, is also the largest such conference in the Mid Atlantic.
Over the next few weeks I will be putting together a series of articles on some of the classes and workshops that I attended, and what I got out of them. Those courses, in chronological order, are as follows:
- Home Modifications for Persons with Disabilities with Robert Dale Lynch
- Principles and Techniques of Urban Design with Dhiru A. Thadani
- Designing the Building Envelope for Climate Mitigation with Marlene Shade and and Paul Totten
- VSAIA Prize for Design Research & Scholarship: Commercializing Energy Efficient Affordable Housing with John Quale
- Integrating New Lighting Technologies into Architecture with Maureen Moran
- How to Design Green without Spending Green with Jolene Mudri
- The Business Case for Green Building with Elizabeth Heider and Steve Stouthammer
- Kenya: Rural Design and Construction wwith Andy Caldwell
- New Daylight Simulation Methods for LEEDv4 Daylight Credit with Gwenedd Murray
- And of course, the Keynote speaker was Bernard Tschumi, whose presentation brought us through a great deal of the work covered in his new book, Red is not a color
Red is not a color
Stay tuned for individual articles in the days ahead, hopefully I will be able to track down lots of information, links, etc. to share from the presenters themselves. And with any luck, I will have an opportunity to attend again next year.
