Emerging Trends 2008 Design and Construction

As the design and construction industry use another recessionary pause to reflect on how we deliver our services and strategies on how best to provide them in the future, I would recommend the following two papers as sources for illuminating areas needing attention.

The Role of Technology in Reshaping the AEC Industry

and

FMI/CMAA Eight Annual survey of Owners (The Perfect Storm - Construction Style)

I have six Herman Miller Eames LCM molded plywood lounge chairs that were poorly repaired back in the 60's. There is a business in Venice, California called Hume that repairs and restores modern era furniture. The quote to repair these chairs was more than what I can buy a newly manufactured chair directly from Herman Miller would be. I will continue to look for the parts I need (rubber shockmounts and glides). Anyone with information on a good source for these parts, please end me an email. harch@earthlink.net
