We became architects to conceptualize, to design, to create. But too much of our time is spent searching for products, organizing their details, and writing specifications. Technology has provided tremendous improvements to the design process and to building materials themselves, but beyond digitizing all those binders, it has provided little advancement to product sourcing.
A recent study found that architects spend an average of one-third of their working hours on administrative tasks like searching and specifying building products. This 1.5-hour course aimed at reducing this number will be divided in two parts:
An introductory keynote by Tim McManus, followed by a panel discussion between industry’s leading architects, manufacturers and spec writers about the innovations they’ve personally adopted to optimize efficiency for their firms.
A showcase of software developed by acelab, an information marketplace developed by graduate students at Harvard and MIT
