Things That Can't Be Specified:
An Attitude About Design Process and a Business School Case Study Example
OVERVIEW:
Specifiers and designers try to craft the most comprehensive descriptions for building components and their installation, yet the most obvious quality of a building, its general 'appearance' is not included in the project manual. This talk will tough upon an attitude about the design process, and a kind of underpinning philosophy related to a building's appearance, before technical specifications are conceived. A case study of a recent business school project will augment some of the points.
OVERVIEW:
Steve Imrich, FAIA, LEED AP BD+C, Principal at Cambridge Seven Associates, Inc. has been a major contributor to C7A's innovative projects with skills in the integration of design, technology, sustainable building systems, and interpretive features. He has led, managed, and collaborated on the design of a wide range of projects, from museums and aquariums, to visitor centers and academic facilities. He has been the design principal for award winning projects such as the Complex Systems Laboratory for the MIT Aero/Astro Department, the Boston Children's Museum expansion, and the renovation of the New England Aquarium Giant Ocean Tank. Steve is currently working on various science center and aquarium expansion plans, along with a new mixed-use project at the University of Virginia.
