DESCRIPTION:Fall BCT Lectures – Hybrid – All programs are Mondays from 4:00 -5:15 pm EST\nFor Detailed Information and to Register visit here \n These lectures and free and open to the public\, however\, registration and payment of fee is required if you want WMAIA to record the learning units.\nUMass faculty and staff requiring learning units may register for no fee.\nWhen registering\, select the TOTAL # of programs (1\, 2\, 3 or all 4) that you plan to attend.  \nBeyond Recovery: Leveraging Technology for Post-Disaster Building Assessment and Damage Segmentation\nMonday September 16| 4:00-5:15PM|Hybrid – ZOOM or in person at 170 Design Building UMass|1HSW\nWhen historic and existing buildings suffer damage or destruction\, the recovery and restoration process is often slow and challenging. This presentation introduces an effective methodology for expediting post-disaster assessment of structures by leveraging digital technology. Focusing on the Beirut Blast case study\, it demonstrates the advantages of 3D image-based modeling in disaster recovery and decision-making. The talk also covers the use of AI and machine learning to assess the resiliency of masonry buildings and guide future retrofit decisions. Additionally\, it discusses the automation of damage assessment on 3D point clouds\, which accelerates emergency response and enhances the safeguarding of our built heritage. Presented by: Joe Kallas\, Architect\, Cultural Heritage Specialist. \nToward More Sustainable Living Models: Exploring Tiny Homes and Micro Housing\nMonday October 7| 4:00-5:15PM|Hybrid – ZOOM or in person at 170 Design Building UMass|1 HSW\nAs cities become more densely populated and our society grapples with pressing housing challenges\, the concept of micro housing and tiny homes has gained traction as a potential solution for those who seek sustainable\, simpler and affordable lifestyle. In this presentation\, we explore the concept of micro housing and tiny homes\, designs using software\, how to build them according to the IRC codes and their potential impacts challenges with zoning regulations and infrastructural requirement. Presented by: Douglas Smith\, Founder Beechwood Tiny Homes. \nPLAIN DESIGN * BUILD – At Intersection of Architecture and Forestry\nMonday October 28| 4:00-5:15PM|Hybrid – ZOOM or in person at 170 Design Building UMass|1 HSW \nPLAIN DESIGN * BUILD works at the intersection of architecture and forestry with projects advancing contemporary forms of timber architecture. The talk proposes an architectural language for the emerging technology of engineered lumber construction highlighting forms of mass timber construction that support location-based material flows and non-extractive timber production. The lecture will also foster diverse forestry ecosystems and low embodied carbon\, providing alternatives to mainstream timber construction. Presenter: Jason Griffiths\, Associate Professor\, The College of Architecture\, University of Nebraska Lincoln. \nRecent Applications of Reality Capture Technology in Building and Civil Construction\nMonday November 25| 4:00-5:15PM|Hybrid – ZOOM or in person at 170 Design Building UMass|1 HSW\nThis presentation will highlight recent successful applications of reality capture technology—including scanning\, LIDAR-based mobile mapping\, and unmapped aerial vehicles (UAVs)—on building and civil construction projects from multiple industries across the globe. Presenter: Ronald Bisio\, Senior Vice President\, Field Systems\, Trimble Technology. \nFor Detailed Information and to Register visit here
