With projects around the world, Flansburgh has developed a BIM-centric workflow to work remotely with clients, consultants, and contractors. Vectorworks, our primary architectural authoring software, is the centerpiece of this process. This session will […]
Credit: 1 AIA LU Sponsored by: Canvas Any remodeling project typically starts with the tedious tasks of capturing field measurements and existing conditions and then modeling the as-built space in your design program of choice. This error-prone process saps you of time and energy better spent reimaging the space. Thomas Reynolds, AIA, uses Canvas and […]
Credit: 1 AIA LU Sponsored by: BQE Software In the bestselling book Atomic Habits, James Clear illustrates that the key to unlocking significant improvements in our lives lies in small, incremental changes, emphasizing systems over goals for sustained progress. This webinar explores how integrating technologies into our daily routines, guided by Clear’s four laws of […]
Credit: 1 AIA LU Sponsored by: CENTRIA Understanding building physics is critical to proper building envelope design. Examined here are practical concepts for the building designer, including how cladding systems perform across different climate zones and applications. Environmental control layers and hygrothermal loads are reviewed, as is the concept of perfect/universal wall design. The course […]
Credit: 1 AIA HSW LU Sponsored by: Cladiator How cladding is attached and supported from the exterior of the wall assembly to the interior structure of the building is no longer just a question of transferring weight. The type of support system used can greatly affect energy performance, air and moisture penetration into the wall […]
Credit: 1 AIA HSW LU Sponsored by: Hunter Douglas Architectural This course outlines the key considerations for specifying interior roller shade systems – including application, site and glazing conditions, location, project requirements, and budget – and how each relates to occupant well-being and the management of daylighting and solar heat gain. Material Selection Criteria, this […]
