Rethink the Future | Building Together | AIA California
Sep 2 @ 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm

AIA California invites you to hear from a selection of Graphisoft clients that are part of By Design, an award-winning digital series that explores the benefits of BIM in design, effects of the COVID crisis and a vision for “live” integrated collaboration.

Presented by Thomas M. Simmons, President of ARCHVISTA Consulting, this webinar explores
how California architects are adapting to a new business climate by migrating to a design focused BIM process, adapting “live” integrated design collaboration and using hyper-models for presentations.

He will share video excerpts of interviews with KAA Design Group, Studio Como, QKA and Yates Construction where they will discuss how they’re adapting to a time of disruption and plans for increased competition.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn how “live” integrated design can help your firm stay competitive and decrease the project schedule.
  • Review new technologies for design collaboration including BIMcloud and BIMx.
  • Understand why COVID is accelerating BIM implementation and its effect on collaboration in the AEC industry.
  • Explore why a crisis is the best time for a business to make a change in technology, culture and process.

Seattle User Group – In Person
Mar 15 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

We’re excited to announce the next Seattle User Group at Weinstein AU

What a better way to end your day than with like-minded Archicad Users … in person! We’ll share best practices and exchange ideas for making the most of Archicad; celebrate the accomplishments of fellow users; and network with each other. At this user group we’ll focus on a number of topics including Archicad Properties, Schedules, data in BIMx, Graphic Overrides, Pen Sets, Model View Options and data display.

>> NEW LOCATION <<

Weinstein AU has graciously offered their office to host our next user group. Their office is located in the renovated Union Stables building which is a Seattle Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. To learn more about this building you can read about the renovation at this link.

For access to the building use the intercom at the door or if there’s an issue getting in you can contact Jared at 206.504.3075. There’s a paid parking lot directly adjacent to the building. Street parking in the area is possible but tight due to roadwork for the waterfront revival.

We also invite you to join us for beers at a local pub following the User Group.

If there’s something you’d like to explore or if you’d like to share a recent discovery or project case study, please reach out to the event organizer, Tracie Simmons at [email protected]. We’re always looking for ways to help our users make the most of Archicad.
