Beneath the Surfaces: The Hidden Elegance in Parametric Design

Details: 16 June 2009 | By Don Chong | 4229

So, what's the fuss over all of this 'parametric design' or 'computational design', you ask? Or, really, isn't the honeymoon over for yet another provocative shape and how to apply efficient facets of a beautiful surface onto a new building? Better yet, shouldn't there be more to 'parametric design' in the overall design process – especially given today's economic and environmental climate? Architect Don Chong attended the recent Bentley SmartGeometry conference in San Francisco and writes about the many impressions and thoughts it generated in this first of a two-part article.

Spot Image International Conference 2009 - Toulouse, France

Details: 14 June 2009 | By Jeff Thurston | 3485

Spot Image has been building and operating satellites since 1986. The company can point to a large archive of 20 million satellite images covering the planet and several operating satellites currently together with partnerships adding imagery from KOMPSAT, FORMOSAT and ENVISAT. Recently the company's shareholder structure changed as EADS Astrium assumed majority ownership. This has resulted in a larger company under that name with Spot Image joining Infoterra to form a earth observation working group. These changes have compelled the group to offer advanced web services for its products and services in addition to other changes. Vector1 Media editor Jeff Thurston reports in the first part of the conference coverage.

GITA's GIS Conference Emphasizes Involvement

Details: 27 April 2009 | By Matt Ball | 1801

The Geospatial Information Technology Association's 2009 Geospatial Infrastructure Solutions (GIS) Conference took place April 19-22 in Tampa, Florida. The event aimed to involve members early and often, with a 'design your own program' appeal to members during the planning stages, followed by the interactive discussions, and an emphasis during the general sessions on the benefits of becoming involved. The new focus on infrastructure and emergency response breaks new ground for geospatial technology events, spurring broader use among utilities, and promoting deeper utlization by the engineering community.

AU 2009 Urges Model-Based Opportunity

Details: 07 December 2009 | By Matt Ball | 2016

Autodesk University 2009 took place in Las Vegas, Nevada from Dec. 1-3. This year's event attracted roughly 6,000 people to the live event, and 16,000 to a simultaneous online broadcast of the content. The event theme, "Learn. Connect. Explore," highlights some of the advantages of the in-person experience, but with the economic and environmental benefits, the online version is likely to grow in subsequent years. With economic pain widespread among the AEC community, the emphasis was placed on the benefits of innovation and for a revamped design/build process that moves us further toward integrated design.
