THE CIB SYMPOSIUM ON INTEGRATED DESIGN SOLUTIONS (IDS) WORKSHOP II
The purpose of this second workshop in Atlanta, held on September 27 and 28, 2006, was to further define the possibilities of IDS within the context of the International Council for Research and Innovation in Building Construction (CIB). Board members, deans and directors of design schools from around the country, and experts in the design and construction industries from around the world participated in the workshop. Founded in 1953, CIB is a worldwide network of building and construction experts who improve their day-to-day performance through international cooperation and information exchange with their peers.
A summary of the proceedings from the Integrated Design Solutions (IDS) Workshop II is available for download as a pdf file.
Other presentations available from the Workshop are:
- Workshop Opening Remarks by Professor Peter Barrett
- Highlights from IDS Workshop I by Professor Selahattin Önür
- An Assessment of Technologies in Design and Construction and University Research Opportunities by Professor Charles M. Eastman
- IDS: Defining Its Possible Scope within CIB by Dr. Soofia Tahira Elias-Ozkan
- Performance based design of technical building systems: A rational approach by Professor Godfried Augenbroe
Dr. Thomas Galloway, Dean of the College of Architecture at the Georgia Institute of Technology, organized and hosted this second IDS Workshop, which followed the semi-annual board and committee meetings of the CIB. In addition to the voluntary international cooperation projects in its Task Groups and Working Commissions, CIB operates through the so-called pro-active approach.
The CIB is currently exploring Integrated Design Solutions (IDS) as a fourth priority theme to complement and unite the three existing themes—Sustainable Construction, Performance Based Building, and Revaluing Construction—and to strengthen the other themes’ link to the working commissions and task groups.
