are used in 'green' building design
The ways that architects use computer simulation to design environmentally-friendly buildings will be explored in a symposium being held on Friday-Saturday, April 2-3.
The School of Architecture is presenting the event -- titled "Numbers Count: Simulation and High Performance Building Design" -- in conjunction with its exhibition "Big and Green: Toward Sustainable Architecture in the 21st Century," which is on view through May 7.
The symposium will feature well-known architects and their consultants who will demonstrate and discuss how computer simulation of air flow, acoustics, lighting and air quality are used in the design process of large-scale green buildings.
Friday's program will feature a keynote address by Michelle Addington, who teaches courses on energy/environmental systems, building technology and new materials at Harvard. Her talk will take place at 6:30 p.m.
From 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, there will be presentations by an array of internationally recognized innovators in the field of sustainable design and technology. Participants will include Thomas Auer, Patrick Bellew, Stefan Benisch, Tim Christ, David Gissen, Laura Hartman, Ali Malkawi, Erin McConahey, Greg Otto, Rafael Pelli and Paul Stoller.
"Numbers Count" is free and open to the public. It will be held in Hastings Hall, 180 York St.
