GPIC Annual Seminar Series: Innovation in Energy Efficient Buildings
Innovation in Design: Design Competition as Idea Catalyst
Co-hosted by HOK
Event registered for LEED and AIA continuing education credits
In early 2011 a group of young HOK architects and Vanderweil engineers competed in the 2011 Metropolis Magazine Next Generation design competition “Getting the Feds to Zero”. Their award winning design submission was an inspired collaborative effort that closely parallels the mission of the Greater Philadelphia Innovation Cluster. During this seminar, HOK will present the winning design concept as a context for a series of focused discussions on:
Analysis – how to approach retrofit and the tools we use
Work force – the “green workplace” & how human behavior impacts design
Biomimicry – lessons inspired by nature that inform design
Energy – achieving neutrality
Design – integration and synthesis of all the above
buildingSmart – BIM and Integrated Project Delivery (IDP) from scanning to operations
The goal for the seminar is to examine the process of design related to Building Retrofit and how an integrated design process works. Audience dialogue will also help the GPIC and allies to understand and collectively outline our unmet needs.
