Assembling Architecture

These are the proceedings from the 2009 Building Technology Educators' Society Conference, held at the University of New Mexico August 6-8th. The proceedings include transcripts from the keynote speakers (Martin Bechthold and Rene Davids), plenary sessions (led by Annette LeCuyer and Jason Vollen), and presented papers. In keeping with the BTES Mission, this conference assembled architectural educators, researchers and practitioners “who are passionate about teaching the technology of building design and construction” to engage in lively discussion and debate. Assembling Architecture hopes to bridge the gap between the theoretical and the practical, providing participants the opportunity explore advancements in technology at the intersection of design, theory, and practice.
