Project Delivery Knowledge Community,
My name is Morgan Robberson and I have been selected as one of the two AIA Knowledge Scholars who will attend the "Project Delivery Methods - Examining the Options" Symposium as part of the 72nd Annual Texas Society of Architects Annual Convention and Design Products & Ideas Expo. I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and tell you all how excited I am to be able to share my experience at the upcoming conference with you.
Designing buildings is only a small fraction of this obsession we call architecture. Architecture becomes real when you introduce project management, phasing, budgets, site constraints, and client expectations. Design is a way of doing business and it must continue to evolve in order to remain relevant in the 21st century; as clients continue to demand extensive services, funding remains scarce, and technology continues to change, architects must adapt their ability to render architectural services-and that is the essence of project delivery.
For those of you who won't be able to join in the discussion at the conference: keep an eye on the Project Delivery Knowledge Community Discussion Board as I will be posting seminar notes in (nearly) real-time.
For you those of you who are on Twitter, I'll be tweeting from my account (@arch_morganizer) during the conference. You can also follow the conference tweets on the PDKC web page or by using its hashtag (#TSAconf).
I hope to see you there!
Sincerely,
Morgan Robberson, Associate AIA
