The TRADITIONAL BUILDING EXHIBITION AND CONFERENCE is a unique opportunity for Architects, Designers, Contractors, Builders, Developers, Planners, and Old-House Owners to gather together in a forum that explores the profitability and sustainability of historic preservation and traditional building. In three days you can explore every aspect of the region’s rich design legacy from skyscrapers to theaters, public and commercial buildings, to the wide array of residential homes; from Arts & Crafts, Colonial, Craftsman, Greek Revival, Prairie School to Modernist.  Learn how well coordinated project teams of architects, developers, planners, building owners, and artisans utilize both high technology and centuries-old craftsmanship to maintain, restore and rehabilitate historic structures.

Although there is a wealth of information available on how to sell to the government, there is very little (if any) information on how to find, bid on, build and manage a government construction project. This workshop focuses on the specific requirements and unique needs of the federal building industry - from specification through design, construction and occupancy. Informative case studies of “good, bad and ugly” projects are analyzed to determine the keys to success and methods for improvement.

Much of the value in Building Information Modeling lies within the "information" that's produced within the model through the design process - and how that information can be used throughout the construction and lifecycle of a building. Join us at this event to learn more about how local firms utilize this technology within their projects and how you can apply this technology to your own practice.

Using ArchiCAD BIM methodologies, you develop a "virtual building" that is used during all phases of the architectural process.

Today Bricscad V8 is probably the best DWG alternative CAD platform. It is also certainly the best alternative for porting applications. Bricscad's LISP-, SDS- (equivalent for ADS) and COM- development environment is close to 100% compatible with the AutoCAD API's. The ODA - of which Bricsys is a founding Member - has released DRX as the first alternative API for ARX. But this requires substantial modifications to the applications' source code to run on any non-AutoCAD platform.
