Panel

On Monday, July 24, 2006 the Canadian Design Research Network (CDRN) will host a free, public presentation on the future of visualization in the world of design. Four of Canada's top experts in the field will present their views and their work in areas such as 3D scanning, historic reconstructions, immersive environments, interactive graphics and collaborative design. The event is open to anyone interested in design. For more information about the CDRN please visit: www.cdrn.ca

Panelists:
  • René Barsalo, Director, Liaison & Strategy, Society for Arts and Technology (SAT)
    Mr. Barsalo will present an overview of SAT's research in using public spaces as the next interface and the impact they could have on the design of public events in the near future.
  • Marc Baumgartner, Principal bnode and Instructor, Emily Carr Institute
    bnode is a design and research studio focused on architecture, urbanism and systems of communications and exchange. Baumgartner will present three recent bnode projects that integrate new media and information technologies into architectural space.
  • Michael Griffin, Ancient Spaces Project
    Mr. Griffin will describe the work of the Ancient Spaces Project (recently featured in WIRED Magazine) which is an evolving open-source platform for rebuilding and exploring historically accurate virtual models of famous ancient monuments. This presentation will focus on the work created in Ancient Spaces and the challenges of the project.
  • Dr. Richard Levy, Professor, Faculty of Environmental Design, University of Calgary
    Using a case study approach Dr. Levy will present his work in visualization for planning and historic preservation and explore various techniques for building and displaying computer reconstructions.
