Over the last couple of years, through the pandemic and following residual impacts to supply chain shortages, labor challenges and run-away inflation, the world of Design and Construction is in a state of chaos. This Academy Education Summit Panel discussion is centered about this paradigm shift in our thinking and how we can collectively navigate the “Chaos of Everything.” 2 LU.

Attend this Academy Education Summit session for a panel with design practitioners who will present and discuss real-world examples of how current and cutting edge technology has been successfully employed to expedite documentation and enhance interdisciplinary AEC coordination of a project. 2 LU.

Attend this Academy Education Summit session to discover how evidence-based lighting design for the night time environment enhances the human interaction in urban places. We will unbox how psychological factors with lighting design are becoming one the most important factors in successful strategies to activate pedestrian interaction.

Attend this Academy Education Summit session for a roundtable discussion of three new technologies – 3D scanning, drone surveying and augmented reality – and how these technologies can help architects, engineers, and contractors during both the design and construction of built spaces. We will discuss what these technologies are, how they are being used, and how they can positively impact safety and efficiency in design and construction.

Attend this Academy Education Summit session for a panel discussion on the OBC Administrative Rules, legal aspects of code administration, building department rules, the ever-growing use of industrialized units/pre-manufactured units and how these aspects of design and construction can empower architects in the creation of more sustainable and safer buildings. 2 LU/HSW.

Attend this Academy Education Summit session to learn from Oswald, who will review a claim case study and provide a roundtable discussion. The purpose is to be able to identify red flags associated with claims during the design and construction phases of a project. 2 LU/HSW.

Designing to the budget means different things to different parties. This program will dive into this topic and provide tangible and implementable strategies to assist Architects in navigating their efforts in designing to the budget. Register.

This session will present the latest advances in tilt-up concrete technology to provide economical, energy efficient and durable building solutions. Register.

This updated program looks at non-technical risk drivers from closed claims that incurred a loss or expense over a recent 5-year period. Recommendations are provided to avoid claims and improve practice and project management. Register.

Design professionals need to understand the requirements for construction document submittals and related information based on the building code’s requirements. Understanding common mistakes on submitted documents will help architects improve their process and submittals, facilitate project reviews, and ensure the health, safety, and welfare of building users. Register.

Designing with new materials and complex client programs can push the boundaries of a straight-forward code summary. Chapter 16 establishes minimum design requirements so that the structural components of buildings are proportioned to resist the loads that are likely to be encountered. 2.0 LU/HSW. Register.

As opposed to traditional “design-bid-build” project delivery, a “negotiated bid” approach assembles the owner-designer-builder team day one of a project. A moderated panel discussion will give real-world testimony for the “good, bad and ugly” of implementing this approach. 2.0 LU. Register.
