This is not a product, but rather a process… and yes, you will learn about world class products. The process will free you up, allowing you to continue focusing on what you do best – designing innovative, thoughtful spaces. Points of discussion will be: history of steel, applications & sectors, 4 types of structures, unique design considerations, the process, case study: drive through canopy, how to identify the right specialty manufacturer and the benefits of working with a specialty manufacturer to design, engineer and fabricate open air steel structures.
Learning Objectives:
The key elements in partnering with a specialty manufacturer of open air steel structures include:
• Leveraging design expertise not found in conventional design
• Understanding the difference between specialty manufacturers and conventional steel fabricators
• Reducing the architect's scope, saving the architect time and money, yet still achieving the architects design intent
• Identifying which specialty manufacturer may be right for your project.
