Quang Truong, AIA will discuss the development of UrbanForm, an online platform for zoning and building information. Quang will discuss how UrbanForm's technology can improve access to regulatory information, identify development opportunities, focus architectural design and value propositions, generate urban analytic models for policy and planning purposes, and improve equity and participation in the built environment.

Learning objectives:

1. Understand the role of zoning regulations in project analysis, planning, and design
2. Understand how improved access to building information allows architects to focus and refine their core business value proposition to clients
3. Understand how improved access to zoning regulations can improve equity and community involvement in the architecture, construction, and urban planning process
4. Understand of how zoning and other regulations play a part in the development of the built environment

About the presenter:

Quang Truong, AIA
Principal & Co-Founder, POLYTECHNICA
Adjunct Assistant Professor, PSU

Quang is a licensed architect, published author, adjunct professor, and co-founder of an AEC technology company called POLYTECHNICA.

POLYTECHNICA is currently developing UrbanForm, an online platform for zoning and building regulation information. UrbanForm is currently the only program in the world that can translate the location-based dependencies of zoning regulation into site-specific building parameters.

Quang has written articles about innovation in architecture, published a book about advanced material technology (Composite Architecture. Basel: Birkhauser), and teaches graduate courses at Portland State University. Quang has given talks and lectures internationally.

Previously, Quang worked as a lead architect and project manager for large interdisciplinary teams at DS+R, Steven Holl, Richard Meier, and Rick Joy. Quang built complex structures using innovative technologies, like the Broad Museum in Los Angeles, the One57 skyscraper in Manhattan, and the world's first FRP-structured residence. Those buildings utilized non-conventional or first-of-its kind technologies and materials such as composite FRPs, mass timber, and rammed earth.

Quang studied art and engineering at Dartmouth College and obtained a masters in architecture from Yale University
