Designing a City of Awe | Dr. Tim Beatley
Designing a City of Awe | Dr. Tim Beatley
From the 2020 Nature of Place Symposium, for more resources visit: Is there such a thing as a city that is designed to maximize moments of awe? In his presentation “Designing a City of Awe: Cultivating Wonder, Connection and Empathy in the Biophilic City,” Teresa Heinz Professor Timothy Beatley, Ph.D., argued for the reassessment of our built environments by examining the many experiences of awe that are brought on by nature and identifying the possibilities this raises for biophilic design. Dr. Beatley defines awe as a constellation of terms: wonder, discovery, curiosity, wildness, magic, ...

The Great Dynamo Dig—Mining Your Revit Model with Computation—Take 2
The Great Dynamo Dig—Mining Your Revit Model with Computation—Take 2
As a sequel to last year's Great Dynamo Dig, this class will demonstrate new concepts that will help you creatively capitalize on your Revit software data with the Dynamo visual programming language extension. Dynamo extension enables users with powerful data-mining capabilities through a graphical user interface. These capabilities, once only available to Revit software’s API experts, have made it easier to get to your Revit software data, to manipulate it, and to stream it to many external sources. The class will introduce key concepts for accessing, formatting, and sharing Revit software...

A09 Daylighting Simulation at Four Architecture Firms
A09 Daylighting Simulation at Four Architecture Firms
How do firms start a daylight simulation program in-house, how do they run it, integrate with project schedules, and use it to make better design decisions? Leading practitioners within four architecture firms will answer each of these in a rapid fire session that shows how great spaces get designed, informed by daylight simulation. In addition, LMN Architects, Mahlum, Callison, and Skidmore, Ownings and Merrill will each present case studies showing how daylight simulation was an integral part of the design discussion and decisions. Successful daylight simulation requires a balance between...

PopTech 2008: Saul Griffith
Inventor, engineer and MacArthur Genius Grant-winner Dr. Saul Griffith thought he was an eco-prude, until he audited his total power consumption and learned he burns three times as much energy as the average European, and eight times as much as the average Carribeaner. Watch as he unveils Wattzon.com, a free online tool anyone can use to gain a deep understanding of their total energy footprint - and how to reduce their role in climate change.

Saul Griffith | The Energy Problem(s) - Following the Numbers
Otherlab is a research and development firm focusing on renewable and clean energy, robotics, automation, digital fabrication, adaptive textiles, advanced manufacturing, and computational design tools. Similar to an accelerator/incubator, but with internally developed ideas, we nurture projects through the initial R&D phase, to forming entities within Otherlab, and eventually fundraising and spinning out into independently operating companies. In the past 5 years, Otherlab has collaborated with Stanford, MIT, Berkeley, Harvard, NASA, Autodesk, GE, Ford, Google, Motorola, IDEO, and a host of...

Biophilic Design: The Architecture of Life
Biophilic Design: The Architecture of Life
Executive Producer: Stephen Kellert Producer/Director: Bill Finnegan Production Company: Tamarack Media Film Length: 60 minutes More information at www.biophilicdesign.net. Biophilic Design is an innovative way of designing the places where we live, work, and learn. We need nature in a deep and fundamental fashion, but we have often designed our cities and suburbs in ways that both degrade the environment and alienate us from nature. The recent trend in green architecture has decreased the environmental impact of the built environment, but it has accomplished little in the way of reconnecti...
