PPG to co-sponsor Dec. 8 learning event for architects in Atlanta

The presenters are:

• Daniel Davis, lead researcher for WeWork, a company that provides collaborative, shared workspaces for professionals and startups;




• Scott Marble, founding partner of Marble Fairbanks Architects in New York and recently appointed William H. Harrison Chair of the School of Architecture at Georgia Tech; and




• Eric Feron, currently a professor of aerospace software engineering at Georgia Tech and formerly a faculty member in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Together, the three will discuss “The Internet of Places: What Smart Architecture Looks Like,” covering how beacons, sensors and industrial “Internet of Things” (IOT) technology is changing what architects can learn from post-occupancy studies and how that information can drive decision-making and insights into vital – even life-saving – data for individual building projects and the industry as a whole.



Seminar attendees can earn one AIA learning unit, and cocktails and hors d’oeuvres will be served. To register, visit www.InternetofThingsEvent.com.
