Rethink BIM | Design to Virtual Reality
Mar 20 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Rethink BIM | Design to Virtual Reality @ AIA San Francisco

Struggling with BIM in design? Are your clients requiring interactive 3D models or Virtual Reality? You’re not alone!

Firms are rethinking their approach to BIM as technology savvy clients expect more from architecture design services.

Join us to hear architects discuss why they’re shifting BIM earlier in the design process, how this is impacting their business profitability and why a growing number of firms are switching to ARCHICAD, a design focused BIM platform. We’ll discuss how to use ARCHICAD as a design tool including as a replacement to SketchUp, to develop project presentations and as a bridge to immersion technologies such as BIMx, Google Cardboard VR, HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.

You’ll hear firms discuss their strategies for using BIM in the design phase including…
  • Laney LA
  • Joseph Vance Architects
  • CORE Architecture
  • KA DesignWorks
  • CAST Architecture
  • HapstakDemetriou+

What you will learn:

  • Discover why firms are rethinking their approach to BIM.
  • Discuss the impact of technology savvy clients and their expectations for architectural design services.
  • Understand the opportunity for presenting your design ideas through interactive 3D models or virtual reality such as BIMx, Google Cardboard VR, HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.
  • Learn why architects are increasingly switching to ARCHICAD’s design focused platform.
