1559379 Padget, Steven R.This workshop is very different from almost all other NSF workshops in that it has been conceived and organized by architects, who will also lead the on-site workshop activity. The workshop structure incorporates the classical architectural design charrette approach, as well as a kick-off symposium. In the design charrette, groups of student designers will collaborate to propose design solutions for a complex INFEWS-related problem, where INFEWS denotes Innovations at the Nexus of Food, Energy, and Water Systems. The symposium component will bring together researchers from the Humanities, Social Sciences, Physical Sciences, Economics, and Design Professions for presentations, panels, and discussion groups to explore the interrelations of the social, environmental, economic, and design aspects of INFEWS in the built environment. Symposium panel experts will interact with design students to frame and stimulate design efforts, provide feedback to the students' design concepts, and discuss and evaluate the design outcomes. Workshop objectives include: 1) identifying new and important opportunities for multi-disciplinary research and design in INFEWS-related arenas; 2) examining how recent advances in technology and design can be employed in or adapted to INFEWS-related development and solutions; 3) identifying multi-disciplinary research, design and development challenges, knowledge gaps, and INFEWS-related research needs; and 4) identifying documentation methods to disseminate multi-disciplinary research findings for future design development. This Workshop provides a new paradigm for integrating quantitative and qualitative research (analysis) with design (synthesis) methods. It also affords interdisciplinary design teams a unique opportunity to incorporate input from experts in various aspects of the Food, Energy, and Water (FEW) systems into the prototyping process for tools and products. The interacting components of the Workshop provide a useful feedback loop for the symposium participants and the design teams. The visualization of design ideas from the design charrette will be documented in a publication. A white paper, authored by the workshop steering committee, will summarize symposium results that identify interdisciplinary INFEWS research directions. Workshop activities will be documented and disseminated using various forms of web-presence during and after the Workshop, and the committee will pursue other publication opportunities following the Workshop. Broader Impacts : The two-component Workshop format will be integrated into the educational agenda of many architecture design studios at the University of Kansas as a means to promote undergraduate and graduate research. The workshop will also help galvanize research collaboration among faculty across multiple disciplines and facilitate applied research with design professionals.

1559379 Padget, Steven r .这个研讨会与几乎所有其他NSF研讨会非常不同，因为它是由建筑师构思和组织的，他们也将领导现场研讨会活动。车间结构结合了经典的建筑设计夏莱特方法，以及一个启动研讨会。在设计研讨会上，学生设计师小组将合作提出与infws相关的复杂问题的设计解决方案，其中infws表示食品、能源和水系统的创新。研讨会将汇集来自人文科学、社会科学、物理科学、经济学和设计专业的研究人员进行演讲、小组讨论和小组讨论，探讨建筑环境中infws的社会、环境、经济和设计方面的相互关系。专题讨论小组的专家将与设计专业的学生进行互动，以框架和激励设计工作，为学生的设计概念提供反馈，并讨论和评估设计成果。讲习班的目标包括：1)确定在国际环境信息系统相关领域进行多学科研究和设计的新的重要机会；2)研究如何将技术和设计方面的最新进展应用于或适应与infws有关的开发和解决方案；3)识别多学科研究、设计和开发挑战、知识缺口以及与infws相关的研究需求；4)确定文献方法，传播多学科研究成果，为未来的设计发展提供参考。本次研讨会提供了一个将定量和定性研究（分析）与设计（综合）方法相结合的新范例。它还为跨学科设计团队提供了一个独特的机会，将来自食品、能源和水（FEW）系统各个方面的专家的意见纳入工具和产品的原型制作过程中。研讨会的交互组件为研讨会参与者和设计团队提供了一个有用的反馈循环。设计图稿中设计思想的可视化将被记录在出版物中。由研讨会指导委员会撰写的白皮书将总结研讨会的结果，确定跨学科的infows研究方向。在研讨会期间和之后，将以各种形式的网络形式记录和传播研讨会活动，委员会将在研讨会结束后寻求其他出版机会。更广泛的影响：双组件工作坊形式将被整合到堪萨斯大学许多建筑设计工作室的教育议程中，作为促进本科生和研究生研究的一种手段。研讨会还将有助于激发跨学科教师之间的研究合作，并促进设计专业人员的应用研究。
