My first time in a hard hat!
By Opal Miller Today we did a walking tour of Athens, seeing buildings like the Parliament, Academy, University, and the neighborhood of Plaka before meeting with Lamda Developement and visiting the Ellinikon Construction Site. We finished the day by touring the National Archaeological Museum! Specifically at Lamda Development, we saw a lot of cool streamlining…
Time, Money, and Models: What Lambda Taught Me
Day two we embarked on our first official company tour with Lambda, we were able to receive remarkable insight about the specifics of how constriction processes operate. As an Industrial Engineer, I have always been interested in Project Management and our visit with Lambda just helped to reinforce my passion. Tasos Papapostolou spoke to us…
Behind the Scenes at The Ellinikon
Today’s schedule was packed, starting with a tour of Athens’ historical district, followed by some free time in Plaka. After enjoying an amazing lunch with my group, we got on the bus and headed to our company visit with LAMBDA Development. A large part of this visit was spent learning how the Ellinikon project incorporates…
Wait… I Think Neon Yellow is My Color
Today was a busy day starting with a rich historical tour of Athens followed by a great tour of the Ellinikon project with LAMDA Development. LAMDA is the company leading the construction and management of the Ellinikon, hosting a large variety of engineers from different disciplines and backgrounds. During our visit, they introduced us to…
Day 2 Inside Ellinikon
Today we went to the construction site for the Ellinikon park with Lambda Development. Our visit to the site changed my perspective on engineering, especially how I view being a future project manager and leader in the workplace. Listening to the civil engineering lead passionately discuss every aspect of the construction process was incredibly engaging….
Development with Lambda!
Today, we visited the company working on the Ellinikon, Lambda Development. We first learned about Building Information Modelling, or BIM, and Geographic Information Systems, GIS, which are used to allow different contributors to the project to share data. This technology is integral to the project because of how large of a scale it is on,…
Bioengineering with BIM
On our second day in the ancient city of Athens, we went on a detailed tour of central city, exploring the various neighborhoods and aspects that make the city what it is today. From the archaeological sites at every block, to the cats roaming the Plaka cobblestone streets, every bit was filled with new sights…
Inside Lambda: Engineering the Future
At our visit to Lambda today, we were introduced to the Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology and the Geographic Information System (GIS) technology. Lambda explained the applications of both to the field of engineering, specifically in the construction of Europe’s largest regeneration project: The Ellinikon. These tools helped to design and predict the structure of…
Breaking Ground with Lamda
Today when we visited Lamda, we were able to learn about BIM and GIS technology and how they are implemented into engineering works. Visiting where the Ellinikon is being built showed me how the application of technology is more heavily emphasized and how it is integrated into more large-scale projects. This will impact my work…
Exploring GIS technology at LAMDA Development
Today we visited the LAMDA Development a group currently working on overseeing the Hellinikon project which I discussed yesterday. We got a behind the scenes look at the design and construction process used on a large scale project. It was very interesting to see how both sides of the process were integrated. As I look…
Where Engineering Meets Real Impact
Our visit with LAMDA Development today showed me how real-world engineering projects come together on a massive scale, especially through their involvement in the Ellinikon Project. Seeing how a company plays a direct role in transforming an old space into a modern, functional city made me realize the level of coordination, planning, and innovation required…
LAMDA Construction Production
Our experience with LAMDA will positively impact my future as an aspiring civil engineer. Although I do not know which sector I want to enter, I know that I will need strong communication and organization skills. The BIM and GIS systems displayed in the LAMDA presentation were key examples of how to use technology to…
Getting the Lay of the Land with LAMDA
Today we visited LAMDA and got the opportunity to both hear about and see firsthand their work on the Elinikon development. They explained to us the BIM (building, information, modelling) process of engineering, where contractors and clients can work together using one source of truth for an entire project. This means that less miscommunication occurs…
Constructing a Masterpiece: The Ellinikon Park
Today, we visited Lamda Development S.A., which is a property management and development firm. During the visit, we attended a seminar where we learned about Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS), as well as a site visit of the Ellinikon Experience Park construction site. At the site, we learned about the duties…
Day 2 – BIM There, Building It
Today we toured Lambda and learned about their hand in the Ellinikon project. During our tour, they taught us how they are modeling the project with BIM (building information modeling), a 3D model of a construction project. BIM takes all the relevant information about a project and compiles it into a single model, which serves…
Lamda is more then just wavelength!(Day 2)
