Classes by Industry Design Leadership Creativity and Narrative Imagery DL205-2 03-Dec-08 10:15 am - 11:45 am Scott Robertson is a designer, educator, and publisher. He has worked on many diverse projects, spanning product design, transportation and entertainment. In addition to an impressive client list, Scott is also the department head at Art Center College of Design and founder of Design Studio Press (www.designstudiopress.com), a publishing company dedicated to art and design education. In his session, Scott will explore creative image making concept art. The key is communicating, so Scott will share how the industrial design process is used in all aspects of communication, from abstract experimentation, photography, 3D models and collage. Scott will also share artistic tips and tricks, demonstrating drawing techniques live using Sketchbook® Pro. 90-Minute Class All levels San Polo 3401 Scott Robertson, Product Manager | Design Studio Press Virtually Global: Managing Distributed Design Teams DL210-1 03-Dec-08 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm Design teams of all sizes are increasingly virtual, spanning multiple locations, time zones, cultures, and languages. This panel discussion will focus on digital tools and processes that allow virtual design teams to work together seamlessly, including distributed BIM, web collaboration and telepresence. Panelists will also discuss IT infrastructure requirements, including WAN acceleration, benchmarking, content synchronization, and project start-up tools, as well as best practices for insourcing and outsourcing. 90-Minute Panel All levels Palazzo H Robert Plummer, Virtual Design Manager | Gensler Bits to Atoms: Digital Design Workflow and Collaboration DL210-2 03-Dec-08 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm Truly innovative design emerges from a collaborative process that integrates the specialized knowledge and talents of multi-discipline experts. Effective oversight of the process requires strong management of digital design workflows, defining the scope of 3D BIM models authored by various team members, and appropriately aligning BIM development with the sequence and pace of design decisions. Multi-discipline project case studies using Revit®, 3ds Max®, NavisWorks® and other tools will be presented in detail. 90-Minute Panel All levels Palazzo I Eric McKinney, AIA, Director | Gensler Digital Design Leadership and Innovation DL205-1 03-Dec-08 10:15 am - 11:45 am Digital design leadership requires not only the use of stateof-the-art technology, but also the alignment of design talent, organizational strategy, and innovative delivery methods. Ken Sanders will discuss leadership and management strategies that leverage design technology across diverse project types, services, client industries, and offices both large and small. Case studies, lessons learned, and best practices will be presented, including Gensler’s design for the 600m Shanghai Center mixed-use tower. 90-Minute Class All levels Palazzo A-D Ken Sanders, Principal, Managing Director | Gensler No Size Fits All: Toolkits of Design Innovation DL214-1 03-Dec-08 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm Every day, AEC teams produce thousands of one-of-a-kind, prototype designs, from retail stores to schools to airports to urban master plans. A rich variety of digital tools must be brought to bear to analyze and solve such a diverse range of complex problems; there is no silver bullet, including BIM. Panelists will discuss the opportunities and challenges of developing innovative design solutions using multiple tools (Revit®, EcoTect®, GBS, IES, Maya®, 3ds Max®, and others) with an emphasis on design, visualization, sustainable performance and the tradeoffs between functionality and ease-of-use. Multiple case studies will be included. 90-Minute Panel All levels Palazzo I Ken Hall, | Gensler Lean and Mean: Integrated Project Delivery DL214-2 03-Dec-08 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm Integrated Project Delivery means collaborating and sharing digital data between designers, consultants, contractors, subcontractors, fabricators, and suppliers in ways that challenge and blur traditional AEC roles and responsibilities. Four panelists—representing architecture, structural engineering, environmental engineering and BIM model management— will share success stories and collaborative work processes that simultaneously increase design quality and decrease construction risk, including BIM and Lean construction practices. 90-Minute Panel All levels Palazzo H Ken Sanders, Principal, Managing Director | Gensler 54 http://www.designstudiopress.com
