Building Information Modelling – what is it really?
26 June 2009 - 9:30 AM - 3:00 PM
Venue:
RIBA, 66 Portland Place, London W1B 1AD
Description:
A conference organised by BSRIA and the RIBA, and supported by Autodesk.
In partnership with the Knowledge Transfer Networks for the Creative Industries and the Modern Built Environment (MBEKTN and CITIN), buildingSMART and the Construction Project Information Committee (CPIC)
The conference will help delegates understand what BIM is, explain how others have benefitted from using BIM, whether in little or big ways, and encourage them to explore the possibility of using BIM.
Who should attend?
The conference has been designed to inform all concerned in construction including architects, engineers, technologists, clients, contractors and specialists. To do this we also welcome input from IT specialists, vendors and researchers who will have the opportunity to collect, and act on, feedback from the day.
Fees:
BSRIA or RIBA Members
£60.00 + VAT
Non-members
Students
£20.00 + VAT

'IDEOLOGY IN TRANSPARENCY'
AA PhD Dialogues
2nd Annual AA PhD Research Symposium
Architectural Association
School of Architecture
36 Bedford Square
London WC1B 3ES
Friday 8 May 2009, 10am-7pm, free admission
www.aaphdsymposium.net
THEME:
The notion of transparency has achieved a continued, if varied, currency in architectural discourse throughout the twentieth-century. Along with a multitude of material attributes, transparency advocates a shifting, yet ever-present, ideological sensibility. Towards the latter part of the twentieth-century, however, the general notion of transparency as an ideological mechanism began to decline. Today, while a literal sense of transparency remains, seemingly its ideology does not. This symposium aims to resurface the question of ideology in (contemporary) architectural discourse by creating dialogues around the following questions:
_ As the notion of transparency appears to be superseded by the immateriality of the digital, how can contemporary architectural research address transparency’s role as a technological innovation, as a mechanism for design, and, above all, as an ideological device?
_ Do new design technologies and media produce more transparent systems of communication?
_ Despite the apparent displacement of ideology in current architectural arguments and projects, what are the subjacent ideologies that remain and how might we be able to scrutinise them?
KEYNOTE SPEAKER:
Roemer van Toorn (Berlage Institute)
MODERATORS:
Murray Fraser (University of Westminster) and Marina Lathouri (Architectural Association)
PROGRAMME:
Ten PhD candidates, targeting certain issues related to the symposium theme, will present a series of individual papers. These papers are thematically arranged into two groups.
Each group of presentations will be concluded by a moderated discussion on the issues raised.
DIALOGUE:
AA PhD Dialogues is an annual international event organised by a select group of PhD candidates at the Architectural Association School of Architecture, London. AA PhD Dialogues is the follow-up event to the 2008 AA PhD Symposium, ‘The Critique of the New: Questioning the Legitimization of Newness Through Technology’, with Mark Wigley (Columbia GSAPP) as keynote speaker. Each year a theme is selected based upon a particular set of terms that address current questions within contemporary architectural discourse. This theme operates as an umbrella under which individual PhD research can be collectively discussed in an international forum.
ORGANISING COMMITTEE:
Doreen Bernath, Nerma Cridge, Eva Eylers, Kris Mun, Emanuel de Sousa, Tania Lopez Winkler and Kirk Wooller
