2018 Greenbuild International Conference & Expo
Anticipation builds as preparations are underway for the 2018 Greenbuild International Conference & Expo, happening Nov. 14-16 at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois.
Greenbuild, owned and operated by Informa Exhibitions and sponsored by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), is the nation’s largest conference and expo dedicated to sustainable building design and construction. Each year, Greenbuild attracts 18,000 attendees and over 500 exhibitors from across the green building sector, spanning commercial and residential professionals, architects, interior designers, building owners and operators, students, advocates, and educators.
Unlike other construction and architecture events which treat it as an afterthought, sustainability is the foundation of Greenbuild. Greenbuild is the only event genuinely dedicated to sustainability in the built environment, from the sessions presented, the products found in the expo hall, even the way the event is produced.
The week of Greenbuild will feature 200+ education sessions, GBCI workshops, summits and tours of notable (and sustainably-built) buildings in Chicago. The expo hall boasts on-floor education including education labs, Applied Learning areas - designed to address the problems attendees face in their professional lives and provide solutions, as well as 11 dedicated product pavilions, including the Smart Energy Marketplace – a net-zero pavilion powered by alternative energy.
Special events include an Opening and Closing Plenary, featuring renowned speakers from the architectural and sustainability communities, and the ever-popular Greenbuild Celebration – a networking occasion with food, drinks, and a live band.
Registration, session details, and the latest from Greenbuild are available for members of the sustainable building community, start here.

Being an Architect: Then Versus Now.

© Sharon Lam Architecture, as a profession and discipline, has come a long way since Vitruvius. It continues to evolve alongside culture and technology, reflecting new developments and shifting values in society. Some changes are conscious and originate within the field of architecture itself, made as acts of disciplinary or professional progress; others changes are uncontrollable, arising from architecture's role in the wider world that is also changing. Below are just some of the changes that have taken place in recent decades: 1.

How To Improve Your SketchUp Skills (10 Useful Tips)

For decades, SketchUp has been one of the most well-known 3D modeling programs in the design world, owed to its intuitive working tools and labyrinth of user-generated accessories, from open source libraries to plugins. Quite often, SketchUp is the software of choice for engaging children with architecture, due to its availability, flexibility, and ease of use. Later in your design career, you could be forgiven for dismissing SketchUp as a 'rookie tool', a beginner's level below the advanced stages of Revit, Rhino, and AutoCAD. However, as SketchUp has evolved throughout the years, it now contains a formidable array of functions, capable of producing complex, exportable results in an organized, efficient manner for students and senior partners alike.
