POTENTIALS AND PITFALLS OF DIGITAL FABRICATION:
Practice and Legal Aspects for Designers
EILEEN RUTH WEBB Ornamental-Iron
VICKI ALLUMS, ESQ. AIA National Chapter
BRIEF PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
How are
digital workflows changing the business of design and its risks?
Eileen Webb will describe how she developed her concrete and metal art into a successful
niche business. By understanding specific computer technologies, she can directly offer
clients a range of choices and tailored solutions. She will explain how to negotiate and
sell CAD/CAM work, modify conventional contracts and payment structures and create clear
documentation. Her lessons learned will be illustrated with three projects chosen from
nearly a decade of working on competitions and dealing with private clients and public
agencies.
Protecting work created using digital technologies presents a challenge for both artists
and designers alike. While schedules can be shortened and errors eliminated, designers
assume more risk as they take control of the fabrication process. What practical steps
should artists and designers take to protect their work? Vicki Allums will present the
challenges in protecting works created via digital technologies and measures to address
theses challenges. CONTINUE
