Reality Shift | Bridging Creativity with High-Tech
Feb 20 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Whether you’re an established firm or a young studio, technology is rapidly evolving in the AEC market and clients are expecting high-tech when it comes to architectural design services. This is leading businesses to rethink their design approach. We will review how firms are adapting by shifting BIM earlier into the design process, generating ideas with algorithmic design, incorporating “real-time” visualization, and integrating immersive technologies such as BIMx, Unreal Engine and HTC Vive into their workflow. Join us to embark on a look at High-Tech in today’s creative workflow and glimpse the future where we envision how design technologies will impact the profession.
.
Algorithmic Design Meets BIM

Discover how combining algorithmic design with BIM can be used to generate design concepts with tools such as ARCHICAD, Rhino and Grasshopper.

 

Influence of Gaming on Architecture

Explore the benefits of “real-time” rendering and how gaming engines are allowing architects to not just visualize a project but experience design.

Immersive Design – VR to Mobile

Examine immersion technologies that support the architectural design process without breaking the bank including BIMx, HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.


Presenter:

  • Thomas M. Simmons, President, ARCHVISTA Consulting
  • Simmons was recently a speaker at the Graphisoft 2020GO Conference in Budapest and at the AIA California Monterey Design Conference. He has over 20 years of experience implementing BIM into architecture, interior design and construction companies ranging from small firms to multi-national corporations as well as management of the Architectural Record – Record Homes Virtual Tours and the award-winning NASA Virtual Tours.

What you will learn:

  • Review technologies that increase your presentation effectiveness to help sell your design.
  • Examine design and visualization solutions for architecture including BIMx, Rhino, Grasshopper, ARCHICAD, Unreal Engine and HTC Vive.
  • Discover how architects use immersion technologies, through case studies, to improve the understanding of a project and create better design decisions.
  • Explore how mobile and virtual reality are impacting methods for presenting and communicating in the design and construction phase.

Real-Time Visualization for Design | Bainbridge
Feb 26 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Forward-thinking architecture firms and interior designers are increasingly leaning on real-time visualization to explore, evaluate, and present designs. By providing clients and project stakeholders the opportunity to experience spaces in interactive and immersive environments, real-time technology offers a compelling method for communication.

The next generation of architectural visualization tools is providing new ways to accelerate workflows. More intuitive user interfaces are drastically reducing learning curves, while offering new ways to quickly and easily connect to BIM software for increased productivity and faster iterations.

In this course you will learn:

  • A review of software solutions that offer real-time visualization.
  • How real-time visualization can be used as a design tool for architecture and interior design.
  • Hardware required to run real-time visualization solutions.
  • Process to integrate 3D BIM models and how you update project changes.
  • Adding and editing materials, lights, furnishings and landscape elements.
  • How to create and render still images and animations
  • The process to use real-time visualization with VR (virtual reality)

Engage Clients | Mobile & Real-Time Visualization
Apr 14 @ 12:30 pm – 1:00 pm

Whether you’re an established firm or a young studio, technology is rapidly evolving in the AEC market and clients are expecting high-tech when it comes to architectural design services. This is leading businesses to rethink their design approach. Join this BIM in 30 Minutes webinar to discover how to…

  • Shift BIM earlier into the design process
  • Incorporate “real-time” visualization such as Twinmotion with the Unreal Engine
  • Use mobile apps such as the BIMx Hyper-model for presentations, design review and on-site coordination.

The team at Scenario Architecture is increasingly using real-time visualization in their design process. “I don’t wait anymore,” says Teodora Iancu, one of Scenario’s Architectural Designers. “As soon as I have an idea, I draw it in ARCHICAD and then one click away, it’s there for me to see” in Twinmotion. He  says “it’s become intrinsic to our design.”

With the release of Archicad 25 this new version adds powerful features for designing and visualizing interiors. Join this BIM in 30 Minutes webinar to explore how architects, interior designers and design build professionals use Archicad to create custom cabinetry, visualize interior spaces, assemble digital material boards, manage furniture selections and much more.

We also invite you to hear from Olvia Demetriou, a Principal with the award winning firm HapstakDemetriou, who specializes in restaurants, multi-family and retail design. She will discuss the decision process that led her firm to embrace 3D design via Archicad. As the key principal and face of HapstakDemetriou+, Olvia invested the time to learn the platform alongside her teams, and found that it inspired her to levels of creativity and collaboration as exciting as it was surprising.
