The internet promises to be a powerful tool for enabling community-based
design. Planners and architects are making their ideas accessible
to a broad public by tapping the multimedia capabilities of the web,
and they're using the web's interactive features to create a place
for focused discussion and information exchange about projects and
sites. This session takes as a case history the most visible building
project on earth: the reconstruction of the World Trade Center site
and the use of the internet in involving the public in design and
planning. We consider the issues of broadening access to planning
information; visualization with GIS, 3-D modeling, and immersive
imaging techniques; creating discussion forums and other interactive
elements; and integrating the web with other techniques of participatory
planning and design.

A65 The new master-builder: networked design/build organizations
Sponsored by: the national AIA Technology in Architectural Practice

A single building model that captures all project information and
makes it available on demand to the design and building team is widely
seen as "the next big thing" in the building industry.
The new process of design and building allows us to centralize all
data and is fully accessible across the internet. But what does it
mean to the traditional roles and relationships that have evolved
over the centuries? In this brave new paperless world of design,
opportunities abound for those who control the flow of information.
What if architects positioned themselves at the center of a virtual
design/build organization and offered clients something they really
need: a project information manager.
