Education is a core mission of the Institute. Ajla’s program is tailored to practicing professionals and represents a unique opportunity to ramp up your facade system expertise with a leading educator/practitioner. Check out Ajla’s bio and course description, and give it some serious consideration.
The International Conference on Structures and Architecture, organised by the International Association of Structures & Architecture, is the world’s leading and largest global conference bridging the gap between Structures and Architecture. For the first time ICSA is to be held in Aalborg, Denmark.
The fourteenth annual BIM conference will be taking place online this year! We have set up a series of three sessions with three speakers each, moderated breakout sessions with the speakers, and 11 BIM BOPS! It's not quite the same as being on the USC campus, but still full of the best of BIM.
As facades become more sophisticated and complex, more detail-intensive and performance-critical, it's vital that architecture students develop a dee…
Being part of the European Façade Network efn, an association of ten research and education entities throughout Europe, I would like to share my experiences of last year’s conferences and research activities with this brief contribution.
PLEA stands for “Passive and Low Energy Architecture”, a commitment to the development, documentation and diffusion of the principles of bioclimatic design and the application of natural and innovative techniques for sustainable architecture and urban design.
