BODIES IN MOTION/SPACES IN MOTION
6/15/2015 11 AM – NOON
Active and spontaneous movement helps students stay healthier, more focused, and more engaged in learning. The design of learning and working spaces requires careful attention to the needs of human bodies. People—and especially those who are growing—are not meant to sit still for long periods of time. Designers need to create agile spaces that accommodate flexible learning styles. We will identify and examine specific design strategies that impose movement on occupants. You can use ergonomic awareness and humane workplace design to create spaces that benefit young occupants. Your learning environments should and will be able to support learners in multiple settings, including group collaboration, self-organized learning, formal instruction, and causal, spontaneous activities. Strengthen your skills to create these dynamic and flexible spaces so you can deliver great results every time. [Basic][INST][PS]

UTILIZING NEW TECHNOLOGIES IN DESIGN PRACTICE: 3D PRINTERS AND BEYOND
6/15/2015 1 PM – 2 PM
Three-dimensional printing has become a cost- and time-effective tool within the design industry. Prototyping and rapid visualization are nothing new in design practice; however, new technologies are enhancing the way designers communicate with their clients. But even with all the benefits of these tools, there are drawbacks. Get the best practices and most efficient, effective methods for prototyping and visualization. See specifically how Radford University is using modern tools including the laser cutter, 3D printer, modeling software, and CNC router to enhance visualization and creative thinking. Identify the protocols of prototyping and how and when to use them. Discuss when “by hand” is better, and when low-tech beats high-tech. Learn about the “maker” movement and what we can learn from these collaborative partnerships. Best of all, discover how to incorporate much of the newer software, equipment, and techniques into your practice without incurring the financial burden. [Basic][PD]

PUBLIC SPACES: YES, DOROTHY, THERE IS A PLACE LIKE HOME
6/15/2015 1 PM – 2 PM
Think of offices with the comforts of home—and lobbies that are like living rooms and coffee bars. The lines are blurring, and so are the definitions of hospitality spaces. Discover the latest in the “New American Style” trends for hospitality spaces. We’ll use specific examples that demonstrate exactly what “comforts of home” can mean in public hotel spaces. Define the details with fabrics, art, and furnishings—and see how your sourcing makes all the difference. Discuss the social hub aspect of hotels, and how to engage the socially connected business or pleasure guest with your design choices. We’ll cover the general concept of “synergistic flow” or the “social living room.” Then, you’ll hear the “Top Ten Musts”—the specific details that will convince travelers that a space is as wonderful as their own homes. Boost your toolkit and skills for comfortable, home-style hotels spaces—you will get results, including the all-important repeat business. [Intermediate][HOSP][PS]

CULTURE (IN)FORMS DESIGN (IN)FORMS CULTURE
6/16/2015 1 PM – 2 PM
Cultural considerations like customs and social dynamics have enormous impact on how our planned spaces and designed environments get used. We’ll explore this idea in two parts. First, examine cultural parameters like social dynamics and local customs as they relate to group behavior. This informs the way you plan and design spaces for different groups. Consider the design process itself and your role as a designer working in a culture that is perhaps not your own. For the second part of the discussion, we will look at our opportunities to influence behavior and shape culture through the built environment. We’ll explore case studies that illustrate the circumstance of design shaping culture. Learn specific strategies for responding to cultural influences through design. Discuss cultural biases and why they are so important to consider in design planning. See how design in general—and specifically the built environment—can influence behavior and ultimately shape culture. [Basic][PD]

THIS IS YOUR BODY ON ARCHITECTURE: THE SPACE/WELLNESS CONNECTION
6/17/2015 9:30 AM – 10:30 AM
As living beings, we are our environment. We are on the brink of a phase when awareness of space and wellness is about to explode. The way we design space has a direct impact on physical and mental fatigue, awareness, memory cognition, depression, cardiovascular health and musculoskeletal health. There is some movement in the right direction, but there is not currently enough emphasis on designing wellness into a space. Organizations competing for the brightest hires need to see wellness as a significant benefit to the people they try to recruit and retain. Learn how vehicles like Delos Well Building Certifications are working to bring large scale awareness about space and wellness. Enumerate the ways we can manipulate elements in a space. We will include general concepts about how plays a significant role in human health. Then, we’ll get to know the specific tools and measures that help us affect and evaluate it. Discover the profound benefits of circadian lighting and how to design for it. Understand how healthy spaces create healthy organizations with tangible benefits to the bottom line.

BURNHAM’S LIVING LEGACY: REINVENTING THREE ICONIC LANDSCAPES IN AN EVOLVING METROPOLIS
6/17/2015 9:30 –AM – 11 AM
The Burnham Plan established Chicago’s open space legacy more than 100 years ago. Within this historic framework, the city is reinventing many of its iconic landscapes to enhance urban livability and civic identity. The session explores three case studies – the expansion of the Chicago Riverwalk, the renovation of Navy Pier and the creation of Maggie Daley Park – where innovative design and programming activated new, culturally significant spaces. The session will position these projects within broader national trends in investment, construction and programming in public parks and provoke a critical dialogue about how urban public space evolves. During this 90 minute panel presentation you will discover the legacy of Burnham's Plan and how it relates to contemporary Chicago life and learn how urban landscapes, in Chicago and nationally, are reinventing the function and identity of today's city.
