BUILDINGS, CITIES, AND PERFORMANCE SYMPOSIUM

BUILDINGS, CITIES, AND PERFORMANCE

Simulation-based and data-driven methodologies in environmental research

4th International Symposium of the PhD Program at IIT College of Architecture in collaboration with the Architectural Research Centers Consortium (ARCC).

November 15-17, 2019

  1. R. Crown Hall, IIT Campus, Chicago, IL

The aim of this symposium is to bring together faculty and Ph.D. students, candidates, and recent graduates whose research interests lie with building and urban performance with respect to the sustainable built environments. The symposium is shaped around a central theme about methodologies, methods and techniques that are applied to investigate the performance of buildings and cities. The primary objective of the workshop is to create a platform for PhD students and faculty to share their ideas and experiences of using simulation-based and data-driven methodologies for solving current built-environment issues and report on complexities and challenges involved.  This year’s symposium will also include a panel discussion of PhD program directors and educators that aims to address current issues and challenges facing doctoral educations in architecture.  For more details, please visit the symposium website.
