Civic by Design: 100 Gardens

Tuesday, March 10 | 5:30 - 6:30 p.m.
Levine Museum of the New South | 200 E. 7th Street

Few of us give it a second thought - where food comes from and how agriculture impacts our lives. Architect Ron Morgan didn't either until he found himself in the ruins of earthquake damaged Port-au-Prince, Haiti asking himself "how these people going to feed themselves?" That one question sparked a deeper search, not just the challenges facing Haiti but the importance of food production and education for the youth of our region. The result is 100 Gardens, a development company co-founded with Sam Fleming, which designs and installs aquaponics greenhouse laboratories to advance STEM education. Please join Ron Morgan and his partners for a compelling and inspiring Forum on 100 Gardens. More info here

How to Enable Real-Time Revit Collaboration in the Cloud -de

Webinar: Thursday, Feb. 26 | 1:00-2:15

Autodesk Revit software is unique in allowing design work to be divided up logically and enabling multiple participants to collaborate on a single building project at the same time. However, for true real-time collaboration with consultants (such as with your MEP & Structural engineers), a proper project hosting environment is needed. We will take a personal tour of a BIM Project Cloud, and explore the related concept of distributed data vs. centralized data. Register here >>
