CRAN Symposium 2024 | September 18-22 | Seattle, Washington
Design on the edge: nature and technology in northwest residential design
Welcome to the frontier. Design in the Pacific Northwest (NW) is shaped by the convergence of the high-tech and the natural. Its economy and clientele are powered by tech giants like Amazon and Microsoft and there is a start-up spirit that inspires the design community to push the envelope. At the same time, living amid the region’s mountains, forests and waters has honed its sensitivity to site and sustainability. Since at least the middle of last century, architects in the northwest have sought ways to connect with the environment through form, space, and materiality. Today, leading practitioners are testing more sustainable construction materials like mass timber and cross-laminated timber (CLT’s), exploring new design tools, and experimenting with innovative zoning.
Join CRAN® at the intersection of these powerful forces for four days of seminars, tours, and events that will provide new inspiration, connections, and perspectives on residential architecture.
Highlights include:
• Up to 20.5 LU’s in a wide range of topics relevant to residential architecture including Residential Traditions in the NW, Mass Timber, Residential Economic Forecast, Emerging Professional Showcase, Artificial Intelligence, Practice Management, Employee Stock Ownership, and High-Performance Detailing
• Two half-day tours of standout NW homes
• Breakfast and lunch provided thru Sunday morning
• Product showcase to keep you current on the latest and greatest
• Countless opportunities to connect with residential architects from across the country
