AIA, co-founder of the Design Futures Council, editor of the <em>Almanac of Architecture & Design</em>, and chairman and principal of The Greenway Group, Inc., Atlanta, and Charles Eastman, a professor in Georgia Tech's College of Architecture and College of Computing and co-author of “BIM Handbook: A Guide to Building Information Modeling for Owners, Managers, Designers, Engineers and Contractors.” The conference will include sessions on Georgia Tech's research initiatives, Building Information Modeling (BIM), sustainable construction, trends in building construction, and critical issues facing building product manufacturers.
