SUMMARY:Industry Partner Panel Series: Architect Round Table
DESCRIPTION:Click here for Ticket Purchase Instructions & Support. \nEVENT DETAILS\nAll Architects share the same goal: bringing design to life through clear contract documents and collaboration with our Client and Contractor Partners. As the Second in our Collaboration series\, this panel will explore the realities of these relationships focusing on the challenges architects face in producing Contract documents\, ranging from meeting schedules\, documentation coordination and clarity\, cost control and communication and coordination in the field during construction. \nThrough an open\, candid conversation\, panelists will discuss how stronger collaboration and a more aligned\, partnership-driven approach can help bridge gaps between design and construction\, ultimately improving outcomes for the entire project team. \n  \nMODERATOR \n \nKen Farrell\, AIA – Senior Project Manager\, HOK \nKen Farrell is a registered architect with more than 20 years of experience leading complex\, technically demanding projects from concept through construction. His portfolio spans a wide range of market sectors\, including corporate headquarters\, multi-family residential\, mixed-use\, entertainment\, aviation\, hospitality\, museum\, government\, and institutional\, reflecting the kind of versatile expertise that allows him to move fluidly between project types and scales. Ken serves as the primary client contact on his projects\, maintaining close communication with clients\, consultants\, and internal teams across all phases of development\, from conceptual design and entitlement through construction administration. His ability to align stakeholders around a shared design vision while keeping projects on track is a consistent throughline across his career. Ken has also helped lead numerous projects to LEED certification\, adding a sustainability dimension to his technical and managerial range. \n  \nSPEAKERS \n \nEdith Bailon\, AIA – Senior Project Architect\, HOK \nWith over 20 years of experience spanning Programming through Construction Administration\, Edith is a technical leader who guides project teams through all phases of design and delivery.

Her proactive leadership and clear communication consistently keep projects on schedule\, within budget\, and at a high standard of quality. \n \nWilliam Wallace\, AIA – Senior Associate\, Woods Bagot \nA seasoned practitioner with more than three decades of experience\, William excels at navigating complex architectural challenges with calm precision. He has a fluency in the delivery process from start to finish which allows him to gracefully synthesize technical rigor with artistic intent. William feels that true design excellence lies in the creation of a ‘transcendent whole’—spaces that move beyond functionality to engage the occupant on an intuitive level. Believing that documentation is an inextricable step in that process\, he strives for clarity and quality on every sheet. \n \nSteve Zimmerman\, AIA – Associate Director\, SOM \nSteven Zimmerman is the Technical Leader of Skidmore\, Owings & Merrill’s Los Angeles studio. He applies over four decades of expertise to a diverse portfolio of award-winning projects\, ranging from sophisticated interiors to complex commercial\, civic\, and cultural developments. His work is defined by a deep commitment to refined craftsmanship\, advocacy for sustainable design principles\, and the seamless integration of systems into elegant technical solutions. \n \nSteven Hergert\, AIA – Technical Director\, Gensler \nWith 35 years of experience\, Steven has worked on an array of large commercial\, private and public multi-phased projects. From project inception through construction\, Steven’s focus as a Technical Director is refining and developing the design through collaborative technical development\, systems integration\, and documentation. His goal is to create and evolve design documentation to be more efficient and intelligent with every project. Helping his team advance and grow is equally as important. Mentoring\, coaching\, and witnessing his colleagues advance is his true passion.
