The wait is over. Greenbuild and ArchitectureBoston Expo (ABX) 2017 are here—lucky for us, quite literally in our Boston office’s backyard. Combining events for the first time, we’re thrilled to join thousands of green building cohorts from across industries and around the globe to elevate design through shared principles and practices. Here are just of few of the conversations we’re looking forward to:
Immersive visualization
As technology advances, Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) tools are increasingly valuable to design. We’re trading notes and demos with peers and partners to uncover how different firms are utilizing VR and AR to enhance communication and the design process. VR/AR Demonstration Booth .
Design as medicine
What are the biggest challenges prompting our current healthcare crisis, and what role does design play in motivating people to make healthy decisions? Our own Sonja Bochart, principal, and Lauren Janney, principal strategist at Lens—a creative consulting studio of Shepley Bulfinch—with co-presenters Julie Janiski, associate principal of integrated design at BuroHappold Engineering, and Matthew Baral, professor and chair of pediatric medicine at SCNM, will lead a progressive discussion on the upstream drivers of health, to look for design solutions in collaboration with medicine.
