Bentley Announces the Building Research & Technology Seminar at BE Conference 2004.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers BE Conference 2004 EXTON, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 6, 2004 Foster and Partners, Greg Lynn Greg Lynn (born 1964), is an American architect, philosopher, and science-fiction writer Life and Work Lynn graduated cum laude from Miami University (OH) with degrees in Architecture and Philosophy, and Princeton University with a Master's of Architecture. Form, MIT MIT - Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers, and other to present and demonstrate emerging technologies for building design, engineering, and construction Bentley Systems Bentley Systems, Incorporated, provides software for the "Design, construction and operation of the world's infrastructure". The company’s software serves the building, plant, civil, and geospatial vertical markets in the areas of architecture, engineering, construction (AEC) , Incorporated today announced that the Building Research & Technology Seminar will be held on Sunday, May 23, 2004 at the BE Conference 2004 in Orlando, Florida The city of Orlando is a major city in central Florida and is the county seat of Orange County, Florida. According to the 2000 census, the city population was 185,951. A 2006 U.S. . The seminar is a unique opportunity for a wide audience to learn about the pioneering work of an inspired community of academic researchers and industry practitioners. In an intensive information-packed day, the Building Research & Technology Seminar enables participants to gain an immediate overview of developments at the intersection between research and practice, and between computing and building. Hosted by Bentley, the event will include presentations about a wide range of innovative research projects that involve new technologies, such as computational geometry (mathematics) computational geometry - The study of algorithms for combinatorial, topological, and metric problems concerning sets of points, typically in Euclidean space. Representative areas of research include geometric search, convexity, proximity, intersection, and linear programming. , GenerativeComponents, exploratory architectural design This article or section may contain original research or unverified claims.

It consists of a virtual reality/artificial environment in which the user is as immersed as they usually are in consensus reality. systems. Presentations will describe or demonstrate research into emerging technologies or design patterns that are becoming increasingly relevant to the building design and engineering professions, but will also cover some real project where some of these revolutionary technologies have been used. Presenters include researchers and practitioners from Foster and Partners, Greg Lynn FORM, Bentley, and other organizations. Of particular note will be a session featuring the next generation of researchers, who are currently doctoral candidates at various universities, such as MIT. They will present their research into advanced computational design. "At Bentley, we envision computational design tools both as an expressive medium for architectural exploration, and as a research platform for a wide range of advances in building engineering and digital fabrication," said Robert Aish, Bentley's director of research. "The Building Research & Technology Seminar allows us to see the quite amazing a·maze v. a·mazed, a·maz·ing, a·maz·es v.tr. 1. To affect with great wonder; astonish. See Synonyms at surprise. 2.

This year's keynote presentation will be given by Greg Lynn, founder of Greg Lynn FORM, whose work is at the forefront of architectural theory Architectural theory is the act of thinking, discussing, or most importantly writing about architecture. Architectural theory is taught in most architecture schools and is practiced by the world's leading architects. and the use of digital media. His projects, publications, research and exhibitions have helped shape both the use of advanced technology in design and accelerated its integration into construction. Greg Lynn FORM is a key contributor to the debate and discussion in the international arena of design culture.
