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 />

This keynote address is made possible by the underwriting support of Immel Construction.<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 />
