Description:
Designers and programmers have been referencing Architecture since long before a computer was involved. What can we learn from the field that taught us that less is more (Mies)? Is your website a sign or a decorated shed (Venturi)? What is a pattern Language (Alexander)? From Vitruvius to Palladio to the modernists and the digital revolution in architecture, see and discuss how these fields intersect and influence each other.

Growing up in Chicago (with a number of Mies and Mies-inspired buildings) with a long-time interest in Alexander's work, this one sounds like a good one.

As a website designer it is good to see a panel that is open to website designers and developers for inspiration.
