DTRA will be showcasing multiple activities including:
Display 1: A high-speed camera will be used to demonstrate how to estimate the velocity of an object that has been dropped or rolled by determining the relation between elapsed time and distance traveled. Display 2: A high-speed thermal imaging camera will be used to demonstrate energy efficient light bulbs. This camera will prove how infrared light can be used to measure heat loss from three different types of light bulbs, including a filament, a compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), and a light-emitting diode (LED). Display 3: The DTRA Team will setup a 3D laser scanner/printer to allow students to manipulate images while scanning small objects. DTRA will explain how this technology works and how it is used across multiple industries. Display 4: A software defined radio will be used to display radio waves received by a small low frequency antenna. This antenna will demonstrate how a transmitter turns electrical signals into radio waves and then received by a receiving antenna.

We are an architecture firm and the need for great architecture is stronger today than it has ever been, but the role of the architect has changed. It’s no longer enough to design beautiful buildings or change the silhouette of a city. Great architecture involves a deeper engagement with the people involved in creating a building, with the communities they will be a part of, and being a conduit between them all. It requires a broader knowledge of industries, technology and culture. It means being more attentive and more empathic, and preventing risk from falling through the cracks. Our designs become others’ futures. So, we don’t stop at design.
Both art and science, architecture is a practice that is never perfected. Instead, those of us dedicated to its craft know ours is a never-ending endeavor to design better, enduring solutions for the people who need them. And those needs are changing. Tomorrow’s answers will look different, but how we find them will always come from Architecture in Progress.
