Columbia DSL Summer of Prototyping Immersive Experiences

Columbia DSL Summer of Prototyping Immersive Experiences

Mon, Jul 6, 11:00 PM
From Columbia Digital Storytelling Lab
4.7

Join Columbia DSL for a summer of making, testing, and imagining together. This meetup opens the door to the Dead Internet Museum, a growing collective project that will become a 10,000-square-foot installation at MAD Arts this fall. We’re inviting artists, students, designers, technologists, storytellers, and curious people of all kinds to step into the process early. Come meet new collaborators, try things before they are finished, share ideas, build small experiments, and help shape the world of the project as it comes to life. No special background is needed. Just bring your curiosity, your point of view, and a willingness to make something strange with others. The session will be followed by an open discussion on designing, producing, and funding immersive works. Special guests include Nick Fortugno (Director Gaming Pathways, CUNY), Shar Simpson (Artist & Educator, Columbia DSL), and Lance Weiler (artists & Columbia DSL Director)

Ayse Polat: Building Beyond Completion-Leverage Design & Construction Data

Ayse Polat: Building Beyond Completion-Leverage Design & Construction Data

Thu, Jul 16, 10:00 PM
From New York City BIM User Group
4.5

**Building Beyond Completion: Leveraging Design and Construction Data for Smart Buildings, Digital Twins, and AI Integration** Sponsored by Graitec, Ayse Polat will be presenting: Project data generated during design and construction is often underutilized once a building is occupied, despite its potential to support long-term operational performance. This session explores how information created throughout project delivery can become a valuable resource for facility management, smart building systems, digital twins, and emerging artificial intelligence applications. Participants will examine how smart building technologies use connected data to enhance building operations, improve occupant experiences, and support more efficient decision-making. The presentation will also demonstrate how digital twins create a continuous link between design intent, construction outcomes, and operational performance by maintaining a dynamic digital representation of the built asset. Finally, attendees will explore how AI can leverage historical and real-time building data to identify trends, predict maintenance needs, and optimize performance across the asset lifecycle. The session provides practical insights into transforming project information into long-term operational value. **Learning objectives:** · Understand the value of design and construction data after project completion. · Learn how smart building systems improve building operations and user experience. · Explore how digital twins connect design, construction, and operations. · Identify how AI can support better building decisions and lifecycle performance. **Microsoft Teams meeting** **Join:** [https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/25524332788594?p=sJ8FZgzCVZ2Rf2Izbi](https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/25524332788594?p=sJ8FZgzCVZ2Rf2Izbi "Meeting join") Meeting ID: 255 243 327 885 94 Passcode: DL3o8hv9 *** [Need help?](https://aka.ms/JoinTeamsMeeting?omkt=en-US) \| [System reference](https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_Mzg3MzQzYTQtMTYxMy00YjIyLTg4YTUtODIzYTE1MjFhZWY3%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%220fc6889f-bf23-4c66-a071-f35150aabdfa%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%225f7aa5b0-d1e9-40e0-8c9d-74b0d20c89d6%22%7d) **Dial in by phone** [+1 531-205-2209,,136886768#](tel:+15312052209,,136886768) United States, Omaha [Find a local number](https://dialin.teams.cloud.microsoft/e1607c7c-f4af-4edc-9d47-10ce22c20bfb?id=136886768) Phone conference ID: 136 886 768# For organizers: [Meeting options](https://teams.microsoft.com/meetingOptions/?organizerId=5f7aa5b0-d1e9-40e0-8c9d-74b0d20c89d6&tenantId=0fc6889f-bf23-4c66-a071-f35150aabdfa&threadId=19_meeting_Mzg3MzQzYTQtMTYxMy00YjIyLTg4YTUtODIzYTE1MjFhZWY3@thread.v2&messageId=0&language=en-US) \| [Reset dial-in PIN](https://dialin.teams.cloud.microsoft/usp/pstnconferencing) ![Company Logo](data:image/png;base64,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)
