During the planning, conceptual design, and design development phases, the occupants of the future building can have a major influence on the result if they are willing to spend the necessary time and effort. Considering that they may have to work in the building for many decades, the investment of time and effort seems well worth it.
The talk will describe the eight-year long interaction with architects, University administrators, lawyers, Berkeley City officials, and contractors, focussing on those activities that made -- or could have made -- a crucial difference in a successful outcome. The top ten blunders in Soda Hall will be reviewed and their causes analyzed. Some lessons learned that might bring a next building development even closer to perfection will be reviewed.
The talk will be followed by an open-ended question and answer session.
