BUILDING THE UNCONVENTIONAL BY REDEFINING THE CONVENTIONS

BUILDING THE UNCONVENTIONAL BY REDEFINING THE CONVENTIONS Computational design is not just a tool for form generation—it is reshaping how architects and contractors document, coordinate, and deliver complex buildings. This session examines how unconventional approaches to contract documentation, powered by computational processes, can liberate architecture from traditional constraints while strengthening construction execution. Michael Zensen, Senior Technical Leader for Quality & Construction Administration, and Andy Van Mater, Senior Computational Designer at Cannon Design St. Louis, will present a case study.

DIVISION 01 - THE HEART OF THE DOCUMENTS

BEFORE our annual Product Show please join us for a free AIA Learning Unit session on the show floor! Then stay for the start of the Show (earn ANOTHER Learning Unit, separate registration) and free lunch! Program details below. And visit https://on.stlouiscsi.org/2025show to register for the Product Show right after the learning session. DIVISION 01 - The Heart of the Documents Unhinged by Unit Prices??? Stumped by Submittal Procedures??? Confused by Close Out Documentation??? If your experience with Division 01 - General Requirements seems like a journey deep into the heart of darkness, let CSI shine some light into your life. Meet with us before the doors open for the Product Show and bring your questions, comments, criticisms, and complaints about the most important part of the documents. Our panel consists of three architects who also have extensive experience as specifiers, construction contract administrators, contractors, and products. Here's why we think Division 01 is so important: "It is a project-wide rule book that governs how the work is to be executed, coordinated, administered, and delivered." And here's one of the first things we'll tell you: "Contract Documents are interrelated; none of them stand alone. And Division 01 is at the heart of the interrelationships." Attendees will earn 1.5 hr LU from AIA-CES. [pending approval]
