CASE AIANY Tech Lecture now available online

The lecture that we gave over a month ago (wow, that went fast!), is now available online, thanks to the good folks at Bentley. Unfortunately, you also have to register with them to watch the video (they have to get something out of it right?).

BLDG 2.0 selected for inagural issue of [bracket]

BLDG 2.0 was selected to be published in the inagural issue of the new journal [bracket], released this winter. We're psyched to have been chosen.

BLDG 2.0 is one of ten technologies selected to premier at Green:Net 09!

We thought we had a good idea, but we we're completely blown away when we we're notified today that BLDG 2.0 was selected as one of ten startups that will premier at the Green:Net 09 Conference in San Francisco.

CASE speaks at AIANY Tech Series

CASE has been invited to present during the monthly AIANY Tech Lecture series. We're stoked to take part in this consistently impressive series and hope we can live up to everyone's expectations.

I've included the original announcement below:

Google Project 10^100 announcement pushed back

Google's Project 10^100 team announced today that they were unable to complete the internally vetted list of 100 finalists for public voting, because they were overwhelmed by the number of ideas (over 150,000). They have pushed back the announcement date to March 17 (St. Patrick's Day).

AU Design Computation Update

Since it looks like Robert isn't planning to add information online about the AU Design Computation Symposium that I mentioned earlier, I've decided to make my lecture available here.

CASE presents at Design Computation Symposium at AU

I was invited to present during the inaugural Design Computation Symposium at Autodesk University 2008. The event, organized by by Robert Aish, Director of Software Development at Autodesk, brought together some of the leading practitioners of computational design from across the AEC industry.

BLDG 2.0 | Crowd-Sourcing Building Energy Performance

BLDG 2.0 is a research project initiated by CASE, in partnership with New Buildings Institute, Arup Sustainability, SHoP Architects, Columbia University and IDEO. BLDG 2.0 will address two, somewhat paradoxical, barriers to informed sustainable design: the lack of publicly accessible performance data and the difficulty of extracting meaningful, consistent information from the raw, unstandardized data when it is available. BLDG 2.0 will move beyond this to create a real knowledge resource for building performance.

BLDG 2.0 gets denied by Latrobe jury

Unsurprisingly, BLDG 2.0 didn't make it into the second stage of the AIA's Latrobe Prize competition. :-( Unfortunately, we need a few more grey hairs and martinis with the jurors before we're accepted as members of the club. Nothing like paying your dues.

BLDG 2.0 submitted for 2009 Latrobe Prize

Keeping the momentum going, Nash, Josh and I decided to further refine our BLDG 2.0 concept and submit it for consideration for the 2009 Latrobe Prize. The Latrobe Prize is a biennial competitive grant, awarded by the AIA's College of Fellows to advance professional knowledge in architecture.
