el dorado inc<br />
2:00 – 3:30 p.m.<br />
Lecture Hall<br />
In this featured keynote address, Josh Shelton, <strong>AIA</strong>, and Dan Maginn, F<strong>AIA</strong>, principals with the award-winning<br />
fi rm el dorado, inc., in Kansas City, will introduce the fi rm and its eclectic design practice that involves working<br />
on a wide range of projects. Their presentation will examine diversifi cation of practice and its critical importance<br />
during challenging economic conditions. Using examples to illustrate leveraging design as a community-based<br />
resource, they will outline how grassroots community involvement can be a viable source of networking and<br />
business development. Shelton and Maginn also will explore the roots of el dorado’s fabrication practice and<br />
describe the fi rm’s current transition to an architect-led design-build practice. They will demonstrate a direct<br />
connection between a “hands-on approach” to architecture and a comprehensive strategy for practicing. The<br />
keynote address will include specifi c case studies and project scenarios that illustrate the fi rm’s approach to<br />
project delivery and explain the mechanics and benefi ts of an architect-led design-build delivery method.<br />
(K3A: 1.5 LU/HSW hrs.)<br />

Technology<br />
2:00 – 3:30 p.m.<br />
Hall of Ideas E & F<br />
This exhibitor-sponsored professional development seminar will be presented by Graphisoft. Through an<br />
innovative collaborative BIM process, architects, engineers, builders and owners have the ability to explore a<br />
project’s key physical and functional characteristics digitally – before it’s built. Presenter Monte Chapin will<br />
discuss how using coordinated data-rich information models allow all members of a project team to contribute<br />
to its success through improved accuracy, less waste and the ability to make informed decisions earlier in the<br />
process. (V3A: 1.5 LU hrs.)<br />
