  Islay Burgess

  In 15 years of experience in architecture, Islay has approached each role from designer, project manager, and Digital Design Manager with a focus on integrating innovative design with the functional and technical requirements specific to each project.Islay has particular expertise in BIM, digital workflows, and resilient design. Working along the Florida coast from 2002 until 2008 provided exposure to new codes and how those impact our need to build focused on the environment. This work continued at an elevated level during Islay's time in southern coastal states, with a primary focus on rebuilding the city's public realm along with hardened structures for public shelter and for emergency response personal operations to FEMA specifications after Hurricane Katrina. Since she joined Gensler in 2011, Islay has worked as the Digital Design Manager building a team of specialists focusing on researching new technologies and how to best integrate them with the design and delivery processes. Leveraging digital tools allows thought and process development around the performance of design, in addition to the design data created, computational processes, and a shift in the future of how architecture is managed.Islay received Masters of Architecture and Community Design from the University of South Florida in Tampa, FL in 2008 and Bachelors of Architectural Engineering from the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, MS, graduating from the Honor's College with the distinctions of Special Honors and Magna Cum Laude in 2001. She is registered as an architect and is certified by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards, and has Revit certification with Autodesk.
