\nto provide value to architecture\u2014value created with better design through increased collaboration, new techniques and time for reflection. Future designers will need all three if they are to create a better world.\u201d ~Ryan Cameron<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

            Healthcare Design is the focus. Connected with experienced leaders in this field, I projected myself in a new direction. With state-of-the art software along with a amazing vision of the future, Visions allowed me to move beyond the view of not just seeing architecture as an art form, but as a platform. By establishing evidence based design as a goal of the project, we have real confirmation that the design works the way it was intended.

            During my time at Clark Enersen Partners, I performed the role of Intern Engineer for the Mechanical Dept. It coincided with my degree in Engineering as well as my Bachelors and Master’s degrees in Design and Architecture. My goals were to develop a set of engineering skills, coordination between disciples and collaborate in the overall design process. The colleagues I met while working there are exceptional individuals with a keen eye for design.<\/p>\n

              Volumetric Modeling for your BIM Workflow<\/h4>\n

              In this roundtable session, you learn about generating a powerful data-oriented volume model for Building Information Modeling (BIM) guidelines. The session follows a portion of a well-known national BIM guideline and with the group, discusses the steps to develop a model. As the model evolves, the design authoring\/volumetric model grows to include building function and occupancy; building…more<\/a><\/p>\n

              If you’ve ever wondered what to do now that you’ve created a Revit model, but need fast presentation images and animations, look no further. During this session at CSRW (Now BIM Workshops) I step through the workflow between Autodesk Revit and Showcase to get your client the images they deserve. Useful for project managment, client presentation or just in-house critiques, Showcase can take your…more<\/a><\/p>\n

              Tired of 2D black and white drawings to convey your 3D design? Seems a bit old fashioned right? We all know Revit can produce wonderful paper construction documents if tuned properly, but we still have issues. Design intent is only getting architects and engineers so far in the design process. One way to push past the errors, RFI’s and change orders is to better understand the use of the space you…more<\/a><\/p>\n

              Revit+3dsMax: Utilizing Rendering Techniques<\/h4>\n

              At BIM workshops this year I thought I’d take one small section out of my session from last year dealing solely on Revit to 3dsMax and rendering. In this demonstration I will use the 2013 versions of Revit and 3dsMax without the workflow manager suite installed. While it is not necessary to have the BDS (Building Design Suite), it does require use of two sophisticated software\u2019s, 3dsMax Design and…more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
