Seidler Wins Award of Excellence

Douglas Seidler's abstract: Using SketchUp to Increase Understanding of Detailing, Material, and Assembly in Interior Design Education was awarded the Members Choice for Best Presentation at the Interior Design Educators Council 2009 Annual Conference in St. Louis, MO.

The abstract and presentation explore introducing three-dimensional modeling as an integral component of the detailing process. In doing so, Seidler created a new learning environment where students visualize and understand the materials, assembly, design, and documentation of construction details.
