RGU Reader to co-chair international conference

Dr Richard Laing, Reader in The Scott Sutherland School and Built Environment at The Robert Gordon University, will be co-chairing an international visualisation conference in Zurich.

Dr Richard Laing, a Reader in The Scott Sutherland School and Built Environment at The Robert Gordon University, will be co-chairing an international visualisation conference to be held in Zurich this summer.

BuiltViz'07 has grown out of the established 'Information Visualisation' (IV) series of events, and will take place over three days in July.

The Scott Sutherland School has been well represented at previous IV events, and Dr Laing is a committee member of the associated society.

Dr Laing said, 'The rapid development of information technologies, and the extent to which IT and visualisation have become pervasive in architecture and construction mean that processes, methods, theories and key research themes require study and debate.

Builtviz'07 will address many of these key themes, and provide an environment within which discussion can lead to fruitful new ideas, and allow participants to make contact with peers from across the globe.

The conference will include sessions structured to provide a range of paper, poster and panel discussion events.

Papers are invited which present original research under the overall conference theme of 'Visualisation in built and rural environments'.
