Defining Fundamental BIM Concepts, Terms & Tools
Mar 10 @ 9:00 am – 10:30 am
Defining Fundamental BIM Concepts, Terms & Tools @ Online Course

High level review of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the concepts. We will discuss strategies for organizing a BIM project, how to establish modeling requirements and methods to integrating BIM based on project size and type.

Part of a 6-Part Course on Implementing BIM into Architecture.

BIM adoption is more about process change than technology adoption. So for many, the question is not when to adopt but how – how to get started, how to leverage BIM to its full extent, how to implement BIM in different project environments, and how to set up the necessary processes and protocols to maximize the benefits. The answers to these questions and more are covered in the Implementing BIM into Architecture series.

Implementing BIM in the Design Phase
Mar 11 @ 9:00 am – 10:30 am
Implementing BIM in the Design Phase @ Online Course

Reviews the challenges and opportunities when you implement BIM early in the project as well as how to integrate BIM with popular design tools, such as SketchUp or Rhino, that are commonly used by architects in the design phase.

Strategies for Creating Documents from BIM
Mar 18 @ 9:00 am – 10:30 am
Strategies for Creating Documents from BIM @ Online Course

If setup correctly a BIM model can produce documents without a lot of rework and with the graphic output quality firms have come to expect from past CAD programs. We will discuss methods to adopt your existing standards within a BIM program as well as new opportunities for 3D documentation.

Design Immersion | Sketch to Virtual Reality
Aug 24 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Architecture is going through a fundamental shift in how designers communicate ideas. Today’s clients are technology savvy and becoming comfortable with interactive design immersion technologies such as iPads, BIMx, Google Cardboard VR and Oculus Rift.

Discover how mobile and virtual reality technologies are changing the way architects interact with clients, consultants, contractors and other stakeholders. The seminar will review case studies that utilize immersion technologies to improve their design process, build client engagement, expand services and support remote communication. We invite you to take a ride with us as we embark on a look at present day use of immersion technologies as well as a glimpse to the future where we envision how mobile and virtual reality will impact the profession.

Attendees will receive a FREE BIMx Cardboard VR viewer and BIMx app compatible with Apple iPhone or Android Phones.

Learning Objectives:

  • Review technologies that can increase your presentation effectiveness and sell your design ideas to clients.
  • Examine popular architectural design immersion technologies including BIMx, Google Cardboard VR and Oculus Rift.
  • Discover through case studies how architects use design immersion to improve the design process, build client engagement, expand services and support remote communication.
  • Explore how mobile and virtual reality impact current and future methods for presenting and communicating design and construction.
