Workshop 1: Visualizing with SketchUp: Tips and Techniques for Making Modeling Efficient and Effective
Learn time-saving techniques for site modeling and visualization with SketchUp. This session will include hands-on instruction on how to prepare AutoCAD drawings for use in SketchUp, create and use components effectively, model from images (including the new "match perspective" feature) and, use plug-ins and helper applications to save time and extend SketchUp's capabilities. Attendees should have a working knowledge of SketchUp's modeling tools and interface. Course includes hands-on use of computers in a teaching lab.
Instructor: Timothy P. Johnson, Penn State
Workshop 2: Beyond Utility to Amenity: Artful Stormwater Design
Learn how "artful rainwater design," celebrates rainwater and presents a timely opportunity for landscape architects to intertwine hydrological stewardship with significant place-making. Grounded in the study of selected projects nationwide, this course presents specific design examples and techniques to transform stormwater management into experientially rich artful rainwater design.
Additional follow-up and case study information is also provided on the Web at http://www.artfulrainwaterdesign.net/.
This session provides greater understanding of the innovative site design opportunities posed by new stormwater requirements using a strategy we call "artful rainwater design." Case study examples of various artful rainwater designs nationwide show ways that pioneering designers have transformed excess runoff from perceived waste product into an exciting design resource. The presentation provides specific examples of types of site amenities achievable with rainwater and specific design means to accomplish them—all intended to provide audience members with ideas and inspiration for their own artful rainwater designs.
