INTERSECTIONS 2013: Interoperable Workflow | Innovative Practice

Intersections 2013: Interoperable Workflow | Innovative Practice is a symposium with lectures and panel discussions by industry leaders, educators, and innovators on the topics of:

• TOOLS: Identifying them, teaching them, and ensuring they play well together.
• INNOVATION: Finding the conditions and opportunities for innovation in both established firms and small start-ups alike.
• MAKING IT WORK: Translating innovative technology into high-impact practice using lessons from the field.

An exhibition of student work will run concurrently with the symposium. The display will focus on new curricular initiatives within the Department of Architectural Technology and will include research and prototypes from courses on foundational digital skills, computational fabrication, Building Information Modeling (BIM), and building performance/energy modeling.

The symposium will be held in conjunction with the National Science Foundation (NSF) Advanced Technological Education (ATE) grant project "Fuse LAB: Collaborative Education for Tomorrow's Technology in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction" awarded to the Architectural Technology and Construction Management & Civil Engineering (CMCE) Departments at the New York City College of Technology (NYCCT). This grant targets curriculum advancement and refinement, as well as the development of a dynamic feedback loop with industry.
