An Annual event
AEC TECH
We strive to offer the most enriching workshops in the latest technologies, engage industry leaders and provide a forum for project growth, development and networking. By serving as a space where creative minds can devise new technologies, acquire skills and make new connections, AEC Tech is helping build an open community of knowledge sharing to promote industry progression and enhance collaboration and communication.
program
Workshops, Symposium, Hackathon
Since our creation in 2013, we have grown from a two-day conference into a four-day experience for all individuals in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry and beyond. The event has developed past a simple conference and into professional development workshops, speakers and presentations, and 26-hour hackathon. We aim to provide the most comprehensive workshops in the latest technology, bring in current industry leaders, and offer a space for project growth, development, and networking.
EDUCAtion & Outreach
AEC Tech Academy
Since our founding in 2011, CORE studio has presented dozens of workshops, seminars, and classes to colleagues and industry professionals. We created AEC Tech Academy in 2019 to offer even more learning opportunities to the scientific and academic communities.
AEC Tech Academy believes education is crucial to the growth and advancement of the AEC industry. We recognize the importance of teaching workflows and processes to enable the development of more intelligent products. Our goals are increased knowledge sharing and awareness of technology and computational methods across the community. We achieve these goals by hosting a variety of professional master-class events and providing an online learning portal.
masterclasses
As the demand for more skills on software and technology grows in the AEC industry, we offer a wide variety of technical masterclasses. We’re able to build custom classes for our clients and audiences needs. We also offer any of the below courses that are our most popular:
Building .Net Integrations
Introduction to Dynamo
Parametric Environmental Design
Introductory and advanced courses in data-driven design for Grasshopper
Custom plug-in development for Grasshopper and Dynamo in Python or C#
Physical computing with Arduino
innovation tournaments
Based off the book, Innovation Tournaments, we have found tournaments are a valuable tool at Thornton Tomasetti to benefit our continuous research and development initiatives. Now, we’re excited to work with other AEC firms in hosting collaborative Innovation Tournaments.
Hackathons
Our hackathons are sprint-like events focused on software solutions to benefit the greater AEC, academic, and scientific community. We often collaborate with other event organizers and companies to bring our hackathon structure as an additional program.
AIA SEMINARS
Continuing education is important and we offer a variety of AIA approved seminars on topics such as Data-Drive Design and Engineering.
