WEEK
RIGA, 2016
EXHIBITION/MEETUPS/WORKSHOPS
MARCH 30TH - APRIL 6TH
MAR
The main aim of Archi Tech Week is to transfer innovation from "startup laboratory to practice" in architecture and construction industry. Aspects as vision, creativity and new technologies are important tools helping the industry to evolve.
SPEAKERS
Every meetup will be presented by the industry professionals, who are inventing new technologies on daily basis or developing innovative methods themselves. All of them have one vision - to increase and maintain the industry of architecture & construction productivity.
Gunvaldis Urtāns
Go VR Studio
His daily life consist of visual and other realities. In the workshop of practical use of virtual reality he will elaborate on the most important tricks&tips that you should be aware of if you are thinking about modeling 3D.
Aleksandrs Švaikovs
OROCON
Oracon is a deep data analytic system for the construction process organization. This system makes it easy and effective to control construction without stack of papers and unnecessary downtime.
Dēvijs Šīraks
3D Dati
3D scanning is using different types of technologies, starting from small size component scanners all the way to the drones to keep a track of reconstruction and digitization of buildings.
Jānis Jātnieks
Baltic 3D printing
The use of 3D printers are becoming more and more popular. The crew of Baltic 3D printing will showcase a practical use of printers - how to prepare file and how to adjust it to the result you desire.
CALENDAR
Meetups about the interaction between architecture and technology
The exhibition of Tallinn Architecture Biennial - WWA?
2 practical workshops for the architecture & construction professionals.
*Meetup is an open format, friendly meeting with people who have similar interests. Meetup begins with keynote speaker giving an inside look and his own practical experience on the topic. Discussions about the ideas and future visions continue in an informal atmosphere.

3D scanning technologies, connection with virtual reality
Dēvijs Šīraks, 3D Dati
19:00
3D scanning technology gives a lot of opportunities to measure the territories either for construction or city and automatically digitize it. It allows to explore underground situation, that doesn't appear on topography in a lot of cases. What kind of opportunities and specifics 3D scanning provides, what kind of technologies allow architects to do different types of tasks, how to set up your task and how to use data information. Renovation, reconstruction and historical territory context will be emphasized.
2.-3.
APRĪLIS
10:00 - 16:00
Apskatāma interāktīvā izstāde World Without Architect?
World Without Architect? bija ekspermentāla izstāde Tallinas Arhitektūras Bienālē ar visai provokatīvu jautājumu - kā mainās arhitekta loma strauji augošajā tehnoloģiju laikmentā. Izstādes autori jaunie arhitekti un tehnoloģiju profesināļi meklēja veidus, kā arhitekta profesija var iegūt no jauno tehnoloģiju izaicinājumiem un paplašināt profesijas iespējas, izmantojot progresu un inovāciju kā papildus dzinējspēku.

Internet of Things, "smart homes" & "smart management"
Jānis Lindermanis, iSTABAI manager
19:00
In our everyday life we have so many robots that helps us to do our job and make our daily life a lot easier. In the industry of construction we don't use technologies as much as possible considering them useless. IoT (Internet of Things) can make every phase of construction a lot easier, based or real data. On the presentation you will learn about iSTABAI experience - how they are making either consumer products or individual solutions. iSTABAI is a smart heating system with remote made in Latvia. For several years they export this equipment and solutions to Ireland, Romania, France and Scandinavia.

Biga Data - smart data analytical system in the construction.
Aleksandrs Švaikovs, OROCON co-founder
19:00
An inevitable stage of building and construction work are the arising faults, inaccuracies and other obstacles that need to be detected, presented and coordinated with the managers, who in turn pass this information on to other workers in order to eliminate these inaccuracies and faults. To make this process as fast and simple as possible. Big Data allows to digitize, manage and control these processes in a really easy and comfortable way in every phase of development. This system allows to identify every risk and controls it's development, it provides fast exchange of information, data synchronization and it's processing, as well as managing your jab in a fast and effective way. Aleksandrs will showcase ORACON program capabilities and context of how data analytic in work.
