The collaborative effort was extended to appreciative area architects and architectural students the following day. It's just as critical for contractors, too, says Steve Dudek of Navetta Masonry. IMI and BAC really hit a home run. Members of the Boston Society of Architects recently enjoyed a similar IMI technical seminar, as did 150 architects, engineers, building officials and contractors attending Rhode Island Masonry Day. It was great to get feedback from professionals on what really happens in field, and it makes everyone's lives easier when making decisions.
Plans are underway to work with owners and developers as well.
Future architects and engineers are not overlooked, either, as IMI and BAC present similar programs in architectural and engineering schools all over the country.
