SPEAKERS AND TOPICS Speakers are listed by track number in order of their presentation. These might change. Updates will be posted and a final schedule emailed to registrants a few days before the conference.

TRACK A (SGM 123) SESSION A1 Aligning Design Iterations and Cost Estimates in Real-Time

Stuart Lange, Senior VDC Manager, Clark Construction How can we be more collaborative and efficient in budgeting and estimating our projects? How has using cutting edge tools helped the contractor to give meaningful cost feedback to design teams and owners? We will review some of the challenges and opportunities of model-based estimating and how we can be the most effective in the Preconstruction process. We will review case studies of collaborating with design teams in both design build and CM @ Risk delivery methods.

SESSION A1 Actual Reality in a Virtual World

Greg Smith, VDC Director, Skanska While working in our virtual worlds we can take advantage of “actual reality” to help enhance the information on our projects. We will discuss the use of laser scanning during design, coordination, and QA/QC. Presentation will include examples and case studies showing how we’ve used point clouds, and Revit and Navisworks models to help the designers and our construction teams increase their understanding of the project. Lessons learned will round out the discussion.

SESSION A1 Hype or Help: Can reality capture technology really reduce risk and improve quality?

Josh DeStefano, BIM Manager Southern California Region, DPR Construction Reality capture technologies such as laser scanning, 360 photography, and UAV aerial imaging are shaping the way we document and deliver construction projects. This presentation will explore a few of the ways DPR Construction is using these tools to influence design, improve quality, and mitigate risk.

SESSION A2 Generating the Built Environment to Make Better Decisions Faster

Ian Keough, President, HYPAR The process of design in AEC still looks very much like it did decades ago. Draw a drawing. Build a model. Do an analysis. Make a rendering. Repeat. Increasing adoption of BIM hasn’t resulted in the industry-wide productivity gains that we all imagined. Maybe we’ve built a faster horse. Shouldn’t we be asking our computers to do more? Hypar is building a platform which uses the almost infinite power of cloud computing to generate the built environment enabling stakeholders to make better decisions faster. Come learn how Hypar is taking cues from the software development world to empower a community of developers who are externalizing AEC industry expertise in code which can be composed into applications that generate, visualize, and analyze the built environment at scale.

SESSION A2 How do You Eat an Elephant?

Nathan Miller, Founder + CEO, Proving Ground The construction industry is beginning to see transformations to supply chains that haven’t experienced disruption in decades. The workforce is being challenged to retool with new digital skills. Architects and engineers are seeing their work augmented with data-driven automation and increasingly capable algorithms. In his lecture, Nate Miller will discuss trends related to the digital transformation of design, construction, and operations. Nate will then evaluate various digital strategies being implemented by design and construction businesses leading to a new future of work based on performance.

 

     

SESSION A2 The Slow and Steady March of Design Automation

Daniel Segraves, CORE Studio, Thornton Tomasetti Engineers As the AEC industry works to connect all the disparate dots of the design process ever so slowly towards the dream of design automation and true optimization, Thornton Tomasetti’s CORE Studio plays its part in tool-making and project application. This presentation discusses the various projects, development, and dreams on the board in our office that reflect our effort to close the loop towards a holistic design stream.

SESSION A3 Virtual reality can positively impact a building’s design

Wassem Hawary, Digital Practice Office Leader, HDR Virtual reality (VR) is a fascinating tool that lets you look around a virtual space as if you’re actually there. HDR has invested in data visualization tools and has augmented its VR technologies so its clients can make informed decisions visually and experientially. The presentation will show the use of VR and QR and create a small workshop where it walk you through the process.

SESSION A3 Mixed Reality Applications in the Design Process

Cesar Escalante, Senior Associate | Design Technology Manager, HOK The development of immersive technologies are on a fast track, and it is changing the way we represent projects and the built environment. We will present a survey of successful, and not-too-effective methods of expanding BIM representations into Augmented Reality. We will measure the relative ability of current tools to transfer geometry, metadata, textures and materials, and the ways current solutions address geometry compression required to display projects in mobile devices and AR headsets, such as Meta and Hololens. We will also discuss the impact that AI will have in our perception of space when object detection, recognition and replacement modifies the experience of the city as we know it.

SESSION A3 Interplay of Realities: Applications of Computer Vision for Building Planning

Nuri Miller, Director of Digital Design & Technology, CO Architects Nazli Tatar, Virtual Experience Designer, CO Architects We continue to investigate applications of Computer Vision to streamline planning and communication with our clients and internally. The range of work includes detailed augmented reality building models, virtual 3D data overlays on physical scale models, and real-time object tracking to simplify user manipulation in custom virtual experiences.

SESSION AB4 – BIM BOP! Not SQL but BQL: time for a flexible and fast language for buildings!

Ye Wang, Co-Founder, Join Inc. A "good" BIM model is very key to easy coordination between different teams (structural, architectural, construction...), and ultimately saves time and reduces errors in construction. But what entails "good"? And how to reinforce the standards? BQL - Building Query Language - that we developed at Join solves this very problem. It saves BIM team time and ensures easy coordination.

Practical Generative Design

Clifton Harness, CEO, TestFit.io Macro BIM, its application to conceptual planning, and never using trace paper again.

BIM and Path-Creation

Matt Fineout, Founder, Smart Architecture Building Information Modeling finds itself caught between two worlds: the 19th century, based on paper contractual documents demanded by governing authorities, and the 21st century dream of a completely digital world, an outcome of contemporary manufacturing processes. Can BIM can deliver its promise in light of a multi-faceted and anachronistic profession?

 

     

BLOCKCHAIN in AEC Jon Anunson, Sr. Global Manager, Process & Metrics, AECOM Double-entry bookkeeping has been around for hundreds of years. Why, now that we've automated it and crowdsourced it, is there so much fuss over it? It CAN change process. It can also change our relationship with data in the AEC business. Smart contracts are cool, but this is a proposal for a different application.

Forge Ahead with Cloud Based Supply Chain Management

Sean Ramseier, Senior Consultant, Trimble Consulting Leverage IoT along with cloud-based BIM & VDC platforms to gain profound insight and transparency into construction supply chains.

How do we fight Evil BIM?

Clive Jordan, Founder and CEO, @lodplanner Isn’t BIM supposed to save us huge amounts of time and large piles of cash? How do we scope the right BIM, at the right time, by the right people - for the right reasons?

BIM CUBED: exploring the Collaborative Ultimate Building Environment and BIM workflow

Cody Nowak, Founder, Disrupt AEC Realities of Reality Capture

Shobhit Baadkar, Principal, TITAN AEC BIM and laser scanning are great construction technologies that can save you time and money. However, project managers need to realistically factor in time and money into their project budgets. This presentation will cover various technology factors that project teams should consider when incorporating laser scan into their project workflow.

Make More, 20% More (or more) | Navigating the Hard and Soft Costs of AEC

Jay Zallan, VDC Disruptor, AEC Consultant, Kelar Pacific No one likes to cut checks but the realities of being penny wise and pound foolish are destroying AECO's productivity. There are simple, and at the same time difficult, choices we can make to reduce our wasted productivity, time and money... Great work and great workplaces take vision, courage and action. Review strategies you can use in realizing measurable gains.

The Single Biggest Driver in the AEC Tech Revolution

Lilian Magallanes, AEC Digital Consultant, Bluebeam, Inc. Disruptive and innovative technologies including intelligent networks, integrated platforms and collaborative systems are transforming the AEC industry. And there is one driver behind all these changes: the need to be more productive. Change is no longer an option, it’s an economic necessity.

Driving the Future of Project Delivery Angi Izzi, Sr. Industry Strategy Manager, Autodesk For the last few years the company has been building a cloud infrastructure to manage data in new and different ways. Aimed at providing a platform for partners for app creation and services to reach the BIM project data, this connected BIM technology will transform how projects are more efficiently delivered across design, construction to owner handover.

TRACK B (SGM 124) SESSION B1 BIM is Our Responsibility

Chad Speas, Practice Technology Manager, Corgan Technology has shaped the architecture, design, and construction industries for decades. It has taken design firms just as long to fully understand how those changes will affect them. It is at this crossroads that we must avoid reactionary responses and embrace the changes that technology affords us; these changes are our responsibility, our duty. During this lecture, I will explore why it is our charge as architects and designers, what it means “to BIM” responsibly, and why we must promote BIM-centric workflows. BIM is here, and itcan only flourish if we embrace it.

SESSION B1 Huge Mixed Use Projects - The Final Frontier? Lessons from Oceanwide Plaza

Mark Nay, Senior Associate VP, Callison RTKL A discussion of the challenges involved with designing and delivering projects with extremely tight tolerances for MEP systems integration compounded by huge scale and complexity. Delivering one of the most densely designed and modeled mega projects – lessons learned and what that illuminates about the state of the industry.

SESSION B1 An Integrated BIM Process | Kolon Future Research Park

Stan Su, Director of Enclosure Design, Morphosis The delivery of a cutting-edge research & design facility in South Korea required the development of a federated BIM in providing a single source of information for the project from early concepts through construction administration. The use of building performance analysis, rapid prototyping, and computer numerically controlled equipment was key to the design, shop fabrication, and installation of complex project components. This process enabled close coordination with specialty consultants and contractors in the realization of a high-performance and holistic building design. This presentation will focus on the design & fabrication methodology of the main façade at the Kolon Future Research Park building.

SESSION B2 BIM For Your StartUp

Anthony Laney, Laney LA Leveraging the power and efficiency of BIM technology, startup companies have several unique advantages in today’s competitive market. This presentation will identify the pitfalls to avoid and the advantages to deploy when starting a new design firm.

SESSION B2 BIM in a Small Office: Optimizing the Multi-Unit Project Workflow

Tracy Stone, Principal, Tracy A. Stone Architect Tracy A. Stone Architect has used ArchiCAD, a BIM software program by Graphisoft, for almost 20 years. The firm designs both commercial and residential projects, and has developed a highly functional workflow that allows for efficient use of the software for managing repetitive office and residential modules.

SESSION B2 BIM in Residential Architecture

Stephen L. Ball AIA, President, Stephen L Ball Architect Inc. Charles OuYang, Ball Architecture Transitioning from paper and pencil to computer in 1993, the past 25 years have witnessed significant improvements in visual presentation and drafting. While the design process for a new custom home or renovation and addition has changed very little, the power of the new tools has dramatically impacted the appearance and delivery of design, entitlement, and construction documents. How my residential practice has been impacted in 50+ years and 350+ completed projects in 7 countries, and my thoughts on where practice it’s headed, will be the topics of my presentation.

 

     

SESSION B3 Automate or Die - Generative design for fabrication with robotic and machine code outputs Ryan Yee, Strategic Partnerships Manager and Automation Engineer, CadMakers

With design complexity ever increasing and the new reinvigoration of Mass Timber as a viable building material at scale there is not only a tremendous opportunity for new technology, but a requirement to automate to meet project schedules. This session will discuss real world uses cases from our work on the world’s largest Mass Timber projects (UBC Brock Commons, and First Tech Credit Union), and select complex façade projects designed by BIG, Kengo Kuma, and Bing Thom. By using a combination of our generative design workflow, and methodologies adopted and applied from the aerospace and manufacturing industries we demonstrate how we use data driven decision making to optimize design while simultaneously rationalizing design intent for fabrication. We will be showing CadMakers' generative and parametric tools on facade, concrete and formwork, MEP, and Mass Timber to create production outputs at various degrees of technological sophistication using simple geometric inputs. From the fabrication data, we will show the use of 4D process and resource planning simulations to not only optimize design but the construction process as well. Lastly, we will show and discuss the concept of a digital thread through to fabrication using a single source of truth model and a templatized approach to construction.

SESSION B3 Less (Clicks) is More (Fun)

Hiram Rodriguez, Computational Designer, CORE studio, Thornton Tomasetti The process of analyzing and documenting the structural system for a construction project has always generated a significant amount of data, both 2D and 3D, and this has only exploded with the adoption of parametric design. Parts of, or the whole structure, are analyzed and reanalyzed for their efficiency and impact and as inevitable changes are made to the project, be they geometry or program. The many structural options available at the beginning of a project are subsequently narrowed down to a single solution through the design phases, which in modern practice often culminates in detailed Building Information Models. Konstru has been designed as an automation platform for these structural BIM models, giving engineers all the perks of cloud-based collaboration across their often disparate software environments. Less clicks, more efficiency!

SESSION B3 Computational Design as Commodity

Ron Elad, Associate Principal, BuroHappold Kayleigh Houde, Global Computational Community Leader, BuroHappold BuroHappold is constantly brainstorming how the transition of computational design from a novelty to a commodity transforms the project design and delivery process. We will present recent projects as case studies, exploring methods of integrating standardized BIM workflows with agile computational design tools to deliver large scale multidisciplinary projects efficiently.

CAMPUS MAPS

•   There is a lot of construction on campus this summer. I strongly recommend entering campus via Vermont Avenue and 36th Place/Downey Way as there is a convenient parking garage located near there. It costs about $12 to park on campus.

•   Track A will be in SGM (Seeley G. Mudd)123. Track B will be in SGM (Seeley G. Mudd)124. Registration and lunch will be in the SGM lobby.

•   The conference is NOT being held in the School of Architecture buildings (Watt and Harris Halls). •   Please note the red highlights on the second map. A campus map is also available at http://web-

app.usc.edu/maps/#upc. •   If you take DASH, please note that DASH F stops near the Downey Way entrance on Vermont Avenue. It costs

$0.50, exact change. You can see the Metro Expo Line stops on the maps, on the south side of campus.
