20 May 2008 — View this video to learn ways to build consensus among stakeholders and quickly identify project priorities through new tools such as “rapid prototyping.”
Jeff Murray, Principal, IDC Architects, and Nathan Corser, Senior Designer, IDC Architects, illustrate the effectiveness of front end design processes and how these techniques can be critical to meeting aggressive fast-track schedules. They use the Nebraska Center for Virology as a case study to demonstrate how “rapid prototyping” was used to prepare a NIH grant proposal including building siting, concept, project performance definition, cost estimates, and schematic level design in just four weeks. They compare the cost and liability benefits of up-front intensive planning with methods that do not include these procedures.
