Columbia University Architecture Event : GSAPP
GSAPP Architecture Event
20 Feb 2012 Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation EventColumbia University hosts "Building Intelligence Project" Think Tank in Toronto, CanadaColumbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (GSAPP) will present the Columbia Building Intelligence Project (C-BIP) seventh international think tank on Mar 8, 2012, at The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery in Toronto, Canada. Leading educators, architects, engineers, fabricators, contractors, owners, and other industry experts will gather to explore solutions that could change the building industry for the better as part of the Columbia Building Intelligence Project (C-BIP). C-BIP works with the premise that we cannot change the future of the architecture/engineering/construction industry without transforming the education of future leaders, which begins with a renewed engagement between academia and industry. The Columbia Building Intelligence Project is made possible by the generous support and collaboration of Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope™. Canada is the source for an abundance of material, manufacturing and production-related resources used by the North American building industry. The efficiency of supply pipelines—coupled with the sustainable use of natural resources—is a concern central to the future of the global building industry. Canada's flow of materials such as metals, timber and minerals, coupled with an expanding sustainable agricultural and power industry, provide the building industry economy with a steady supply of the tools and elements of development. Unique to Canada is the extent of consolidation, based on traditional financial models, that at the national scale provide a vibrant snapshot of global flows of resources. At the Toronto C-BIP think tank entitled "Vectored Resources", the critical roles of material suppliers, manufacturing, production and global supply chains in the construction of the built environment will be explored through a study of how these vectors manifest in the Canadian industry. Participants have been asked to rethink the future of the building industry in four 60-minute sessions of short presentations followed by roundtable discussions. The first session, "Materials + Process", will analyze raw materials and material processing and the methodologies involved in procuring and delivering them to the building industry. The second session, "Assemblies + Systems", will focus on the integration of manufactured components into systems for deployment into elements of the built environment. Session three, "Design + Development", will explore methods of developing performative design through rethinking the construction process. The final session, "Development + Policy", will attempt to relate urban policy vectors to the establishment and development of supply chain efficiencies.

Leading educators, architects, engineers, fabricators, contractors, owners, and other industry experts will gather to explore solutions that could change the building industry for the better as part of the Columbia Building Intelligence Project (C-BIP). The event is an open dialogue that simultaneously pushes today's industry leaders to think differently and informs educators on trends that could transform how the next generation of professionals is educated. C-BIP works with the premise that we cannot change the future of the architecture / engineering / construction industry without transforming the education of future leaders, which begins with a renewed engagement between academia and industry. The Columbia Building Intelligence Project is made possible by the generous support of Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope™. The C-BIP Brooklyn Think Tank, entitled "Vectored Development" is open to the public, by reservation, and will take place on February 24, 2012, from 1:00 pm – 5:30 pm at powerHouse Arena, 37 Main Street, in Brooklyn, New York, (718) 666-3049. www.powerhousearena.com. Participants have been asked to rethink the future of the building industry in four 60-minute sessions of short presentations followed by roundtable discussions. The first session, "The Specialization of Practice" will focus on the spawning of new consultancies, as diverse as facades, energy, environment and acoustics and the extent to which the AEC industry is becoming increasingly defined by specialized tasks that extend far beyond the traditional triangle of practice made up of architects, engineers and contractors. The second session, "The Design of Design Software" will explore the gaps in architectural software and how they can best be addressed. Session three, "Building Accountability" will examine the increasing amount of data and planning now required to account for a building's energy efficiency and sustainability. The final session, "Buildings: Infrastructure: Cities" will look at the realignment of working and living environments to meet the demands for more end user requirements, performance and government regulations that are poised to change the way we view energy and carbon in the built environment.
