YOUNG LIBRARY FEBRUARY 13 & 14 [2015] A [UKLA] LECTURE SERIES EVENT [FRANCO VAIRANI] [ADAM MEKIES] [RANDALL STEVENS] Franco Vairani is co-founder of Squared Design Lab, a studio specializing in multidisciplinary design, producing work across the fields of architecture, industrial design, online interactivity, and film. They have been serving as design and visualization consultants for a number of designers including Gehry Partners, Diller Scofidio & Renfro, Michael Maltzan Architecture, Peter Walker Architects, officeDA, Michael Arad, Philips Design, Kyu Sung Woo Architects, and others. Adam Mekies is an associate landscape designer and planner in Design Workshop's Aspen office. Adam grew up in Iowa City, Iowa and received his undergraduate degree in landscape architecture from Iowa State University with an emphasis in urban design and digital technology. Randall Stevens is the Founder and CEO of Archvision, inc. Randall founded the company in 1991 after graduating from the University of Kentucky, School of Architecture. In 2009, Dr. Vairani received his PhD in the Design and Computation program at the MIT Department of Architecture, under the supervision of the renowned Prof. William J. Mitchell. He was involved in a wide range of design activities at MIT, from architecture to urban interventions, online projects, as well as industrial, graphic and animated applications. In addition to his doctoral degree, Dr. Vairani also holds a Master of Science in Architecture Studies from the Department of Architecture at MIT and a professional degree in Architecture from the Universidad Catolica de Cordoba in Argentina. Adam's original background in construction as an Iowa DOT and concrete contractor has given him a unique perspective and understanding of grading, drainage, and the implications of design technology on the built environment. This experience has been reflected in his work with advanced drainage and topography analysis in flooding and disaster recovery projects throughout Iowa and other mid-west communities. Through his work with Design Workshop, Adam has developed and implemented numerous new standards and three dimensional work flows within the Design Modeling Systems of the firm. His work has spanned a wide range of urban planning efforts, master planned resorts, flood mitigation and recovery, urban corridor development, construction grading and drainage simulation, multi. and single family residential design, and urban mixed-use development. ArchVision initially focused on providing advanced 3D visualization services to architecture and engineering firms. In the late 90's Randall successfully led the company in its transformation to developing software built around the field of Image-Based Rendering (IBR) and launched the software technology Rich Photorealistic Content (RPC) currently being used by customers in 120 countries. Randall developed business partnerships with leading vendors of design visualization solutions, including Autodesk, Bentley Systems, Robert McNeel & Associates, Maxon, Lightworks, Informatix and SGI. Currently, Randall is guiding ArchVision to expand the reach of RPC as a content publishing platform by providing a variety of content, publishing and management solutions for manufacturers and the design industry
