WELCOME TO AIA AKRON AIA Akron February Chapter Meeting - Performative Design Research Performative design is theoretical platform upon which high-performance building practices such as sustainable, Carbon Neutral, and zero-energy buildings may be studied. Within this research platform, Dr. Sharag-Eldin will present some examples of his investigative work in integrative performative design and non-linear approaches. Since joining the faculty in the College of Architecture and Environmental Design in 2002, Dr. Sharag-Eldin has engaged his students in exploring avenues to achieved high-performance through creative non-linear design approaches. The aim is to combine parametric and reiterative design practices (also known as Building Information Modeling) with evidence-based approaches. This approach is further used in building systems design through the integration of technological non-traditional systems and responsive building materials. The resulting intelligent envelop is designed to drastically reduce reliance on conventional building control systems while maintaining high level of energy efficiency and personalized sensory comfort. Dr. Sharag-Eldin has over twenty five years of experience in the area of sustainable design. He has authored several papers and articles on high-efficiency and sensory comfort in national and international conferences and journals . He was engaged last year as a sustainability consultant for the government of Saudi Arabia on the expansion of the Grand Mosque in Mecca. In this project he was responsible for the development of a guide for the sustainable design and development of the complex. He served as an organizing member of the National Solar Conference held in Cleveland 2007 and chaired the technical committee. Dr. Sharag-Eldin is a professional member of ASHRAE, USGBC, and the American Solar Energy Society (ASES).
