GENESIS 3 TO OFFER DESIGN SCHOOLS AT THE 2011 INTERNATIONAL POOL | SPA | PATIO EXPO
DALLAS – September 16, 2011 – Builders, designers and landscape architects attending the 2011 International Pool | Spa | Patio Expo will have the opportunity to gain design and construction knowledge of pools, spas, water features and ponds through the Genesis 3 Design Schools.
Presented by the Genesis 3 Design Group, one of the industry's most-respected experts in watershape design and construction, the pre-show, high-level educational programs are designed to teach higher standards in watershape design and construction.
“If you want to register for one of the Genesis 3 Design Schools, I recommend that you do so immediately,” said Brian Van Bower, President and Co-Founder of Genesis 3. “One of the three Design Schools, ‘20th Century Architecture,’ is already sold out, and the other three are filling up fast."
With one school already sold out, registrants can choose one from a selection of three 20-hour courses held over 2 1/2 days. Classes will be held from 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm on Sunday, October 30, and from 8:00 am - 5:00 pm on Monday, October 31 and Tuesday, November 1. The Monday and Tuesday classes include lunch.
Focusing on pools, spas, water features and ponds, the Genesis 3 Design Schools include the following 20-hour courses:
“Design Communication - Measured Perspective,” introduces attendees to rendered drawings, developing participants' competency with two-point perspective while focusing on scale, proportion, structured plan layouts, grid systems, tone, shadow and more. This class is taught by Larry Drasin, Sr. Project Manager of Drasin Design. In addition, Drasin is the Project Manager for the new Shade Hotel Redondo Beach due to open 2012, as well as an instructor at the UCLA Environmental & Interior Design Dept.
“Advanced Fluid Engineering,” extrapolates the key fluid static and dynamic principles that apply to watershapes. Attendees will learn how to properly size plumbing and equipment, calculate TDH, operating costs, size chemical systems and other items. Taught by David J. Peterson, P.E., SWD, Watershape Consulting, Inc., Peterson is a registered civil engineer in multiple states, a member of the Society of Watershape Designers (SWD), and a Genesis 3 Platinum Member.
“3-Dimensional Computer Drawing - A Study in Color, Light and Layout with Markers, Part II,” places an emphasis on understanding light to create three-dimensional images, understanding visual depth – the basis of proper visual presentations, and using design markers to create depth on three-dimensional drawings created and formulated in Part I. Presented by David Tisherman, SWD, Genesis 3 Design Group Co-founder, and Principal and Founder of David Tisherman's Visuals, Inc.
If you plan to enroll in the “Design Communication - Measured Perspective,” class, you must complete the prerequisite of “An Introduction to Basic Perspective Drawing” said David Tisherman, Co-Founder of Genesis 3. “The prerequisite class will be held October 12-13 at the Four Seasons Resort in Dallas.” Additional information can be found at http://www.genesis3.com/education.htm.
