The American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS) FORUM conference is the largest annual gathering of architecture students in the world. This year’s conference will hosted by Wentworth Institute of Technology and Massachusetts College of Art + Design in Boston, Massachusetts on December 29-January 1, 2017.
AIAS FORUM 2016 will explore the innovative evolution of the architecture profession – from the origin story to a fabled future. Every exploration, discovery or modification, stemmed from the minds of individuals who never let limitations destroy their dreams; individuals who constantly question the established norms; and individuals who continually dare to be revolutionary.
Our Director of Building Science, Andrea Love, will join the Blackspectacles: Super Simple Podcast with Marc Teer session as a guest on the special live, in-person event.
The Super Simple Podcast is focused on discovering how architects are using technology to empower world-class design. In this segment, Andrea will discuss Payette’s 2016 AIA Technology in Architectural Practice (TAP) award-winning Glazing and Winter Comfort Tool, along with how Payette is using the design software and technology, like this new tool, to empower our designs.

Northeastern EXP features an organic pinwheel design, shaping research and classroom neighborhoods with shared community spaces radiating from the core to define each area. The building façade was tuned to achieve a 78% reduction in peak solar heat gain and a 62% reduction in cumulative solar radiation leading to energy use reductions and reduced mechanical system sizing. The use of stainless steel further leads to an embodied carbon reduction of almost one million tons when compared to aluminum while the natural stainless surface reflects light in a natural and warm tone giving the building an inherent energy.
