Renowned Architect/Urban Planner/Designer to Speak on 3D Printing of Buildings
Portland, Maine (PRWEB) September 26, 2013
SPAR Point Group announced today that Janjaap Ruijssenaars, Architect, Universe Architecture will deliver a keynote address entitled “Landscape House: A Fundamental Question Leads to Innovation” at SPAR Europe 3D Measurement & Imaging Conference and European LiDAR Mapping Forum (ELMF) taking place 11-13 November 2013 at the Passenger Terminal Amsterdam (PTA) in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
“The session will address the question: Can building be like landscape without beginning or end?” said Linda McLaughlin, Conference Manager. “Mr. Ruijssenaars delved into this fundamental question in designing the Landscape House, in which a new construction technique, 3D printing, proved to be the most elegant and appropriate.” She added that Mr. Ruijssenaars will share insights about 3D printing of buildings, for instance as compared to traditional construction techniques and space considerations for mechanical engineering and plumbing during construction.
Ir. Janjaap Ruijssenaars is architect, urban planner, designer, writer and teacher. With his invention of the Floating Bed he gained worldwide attention, including that of Oprah Winfrey. He founded Universe Architecture in January 2000 and has won numerous awards, including a Best Invention of 2006 nod by Time Magazine for the Floating Bed. Mr Ruijssenaars’ bio and full abstract can be found here.
Mr. Ruijssenaars is one of more than 75 experts presenting at SPAR Europe/ELMF. The 2013 program contains extensive conference programming and networking opportunities, as well as ample exhibit hall hours during which attendees can peruse the newest hardware and software solutions. Additionally, the events feature live data capture demonstrations, mobile mapping vehicles, roundtable dinner discussions, a university pavilion, technical seminars and user group meetings.
“The various elements of the program work together to ensure that the professionals who come to SPAR Europe/ELMF leave with the expert education, strategic connections and cutting-edge hardware and software solutions to reduce project costs, improve workflows, enhance safety, and produce higher quality deliverables,” said Ms. Murray.
