Jonathan Mallie and Bill Sharples presented how SHoP Architects and SHoP Construction are utilizing BIM in its design and construction projects. Key to the discussion was SHoP's integration of the trade contractors early on in the process.
SHoP Construction presented at the CHAMPS 2009 Seminar on Trade and Contractor Integration at Syracuse University on methods of utilizing BIM and Virtual Design and Construction (VDC).
SHoP Construction participated in a panel discussion at the New York City District Council of Carpenters on new updates in BIM.
SHoP Construction participated in a panel discussion at the New Jersey Institute of Technology's College of Architecture and Design as part of AIANJ's Material Evidence symposium. The symposium was a public forum for discussion and debate on the changing status of technology in architectural practice and emerging potentials for its role in the design of our built environment.
Sponsored by the University’s Department of Architecture + Interior Design and funded by alumnus Earl Reeder (‘77), this lecture highlighted SHoP’s participation as the spring semester Visiting Critic at Miami University.

SHoP Construction speaks to the University of Utah's Integrated Technology in Architecture program as a guest lecturer on April 5, addressing issues of integration and the use of BIM as a communication tool.
SHoP participated in this panel discussion at the AIA in New York City, focusing on how firms that foster thought leadership become market leaders and contribute in subtle ways to create change in the marketplace, in the profession, or within practices.
SHoP Construction contributed to a roundtable dialogue on indoor air quality for Environmental Design + Construction (ED+C) magazine.
SHoP Construction's work on the Barclays Center at Atlantic Yards will be featured in the "Innovate : Integrate" exhibition at the Center for Architecture, which will run from October 6, 2010, to January 15, 2011. "Innovate : Integrate describes two interdependent elements of a new industry standard, one that balances architectural expectations and real-world implementation to achieve an environmentally and economically sustainable built environment for the 21st century."
SHoP was invited to give a presentation to the Sustainable Design studio in the Master of Design-Build program at Auburn University, focusing on strategies for sustainable retrofits for existing buildings.
Jonathan Mallie of SHoP Construction will be the guest lecturer on February 16th in Marty Zubatkin's studio.
Jon Mallie of SHoP Construction will participate in an invitation-only roundtable discussion to be held at the Architectural League’s office in Manhattan on Wednesday, June 8. Thought leaders in architecture, technology, infrastructure and urbanism will engage in a wide-ranging conversation about potential points of synergy and dissonance between smart systems and the design of the built environment.

Represented by Chris Sharples and Jonathan Mallie, SHoP participated in a Design & Construction workgroup of the Healthcare BIM Consortium (HBC), to discuss a new major concept in design delivery - where full schedule, scope and budget certainty are included as part of the design and delivery process. The consortium brought together a selection of the best thought leaders across the categories of Owner, GC, Architect, Engineers, and Trades for a two-day series of discussions and work sessions.

"Designed so that half is below ground level and half above, the building will fit seamlessly into the bustle of the surrounding area, home to the nearby Atlantic Terminal Mall and Atlantic Center. It will neither clog the downtown Brooklyn commercial center to the north nor threaten the quality of life in residential communities to the south." Photo: Willens/AP/AP

SHoP's new renderings of the interior spaces at The Barclays Center at Atlantic Yards have been released.

"The Barclays Center has unveiled what the inside of the arena will look like when it is scheduled to open in September 2012."
At the Facades Design and Delivery conference in September 2011, Jonathan Mallie will present SHoP's work on the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, using the project as a case study to examine several key issues and demonstrate how the facade industry can capture increased productivity and efficiency by leveraging technology to 'bridge the gap' between design, engineering and manufacturing. SHoP Construction will demonstrate how focus on the following items can improve facade delivery processes at multiple scales: -Parametric Design and Engineering -Direct to Fabrication -Automated Shop Drawing Processes -Barcode Scanning & Database Integration
SHoP Construction will present its latest work and how it's changing the design and construction landscape in an evening lecture at New York's Center for Architecture on September 13 from 6-8pm.
"The developer Bruce C. Ratner unveiled the design Thursday morning for the world’s tallest prefabricated steel structure, a 32-story residential building at the corner of Flatbush Avenue and Dean Street in the $4.9 billion Atlantic Yards project."

"In choosing the route of modular or pre-cast construction, a debate that occupied over a year's worth of planning between developer, architect, engineer, and modular expert, the team actually designed two separate buildings, finding that the modular option costs 15-20% less than its traditional equivalent, weighs half as much, produces 70-90% less waste, and has 'a reduced energy consumption of up to 67%.'"
"The essential firm of the post-binge era is shaping up to be SHoP, headed not by a celebrity but by a half-dozen fortysomething New Yorkers who share a messianic high-tech pragmatism."

"When SHoP Architects unveiled their design for Brooklyn's new, 675,000-square-foot Barclays Center in September 2010, a few things were evident: the arena not only looked like a museum, it also incorporated a sidewalk-level public concourse that ensured a connection to the surrounding urban environment. Simply put, the design blended business and art, one of SHoP's strategies since the company...was founded in 1996."
Jonathan Mallie of SHoP will be giving a lecture entitled, "Design and Implementation Through Collaborative Practice" as part of Architect's Newspaper's Facades and Digital Fabrication conference in New York.
"A real estate developer in NYC hopes to use modular construction on an unprecedented scale. It may revolutionize high-rise construction. CNN's Steve Kastenbaum says the industry is watching closely."

SHoP will be leading a 2-part workshop entitled, "Computational Design & 4D Sequencing" as part of Architect's Newspaper's Facades and Digital Fabrication conference in New York. The first session focuses on basic parametric-rule based modeling. The second session is a step by step 4D construction sequencing model process.
