> DataCAD
>-------------------------
>
>This was a special year of firsts and exceptions for this annual 3D CADD
>competition.  The "Shootout" moniker was dropped in favor of the term
>"Challenge", the Teams of designers did their design work at their home
>offices instead of live in front of the audience, recording their process
>with digital screen recordings, they had many weeks instead of only 3
>hours, and, post Sept 11, the challenge transformed into a non-profit
>public service with the new design challenge of helping to determine what
>should be done with the former World Trade Center site.
>
>Amid a huge outporing of emotion as well as volunteers (architects as well
>as non-designers) offering their help and design suggestions for the site
>(which still continue to come in every week, with the vast majority calling
>on architects to provide some kind of building), the work of Jonathan
>Foster and Jensen Vasil of New York stands out as inspirational and
>appropriate.  At many levels, ranging from the photovoltaic facade that
>turns the whole project into an energy resource for the whole community, to
>the fine touches of the bridge over the memorial lake, to the well designed
>connections that pull together the neighborhoods on all four sides, to the
>dramatic form of the central buildings, their well thought out design truly
>does bring a sense of new hope to us all.
>
>At this special presentation, not only will Jonathan and Jensen show us an
>in depth look at their designs, but also show us how they did it, and why
>their use of DataCAD was instrumental in enabling them to do it so quickly
>and comprehensively.  They will show us numerous very colorful
>perspectives, walk through animations, virtual reality models, and even
>their digital movies that describe their design process and how they did it
>with DataCAD.
>
>The presentation is free, and refreshments will be served.
