Caique Niemeyer is the great-grandson of prominent architect, Oscar Niemeyer, a pioneer of modernist architecture known for his designs of the buildings of Brasilia, Brazil's capitol city. Join Luis Ruiz, senior architect product specialist at Vectorworks, Inc. as he discusses how Niemeyer's idea was used to develop the design of Santuario Papa Joao Paulo II using BIM software. Learn how free- form modeling tools, combined with smart building objects, allowed Niemeyer to design the 1,961.60-square-meter building slated to be built on 12,000 square meters of land in Rio de Janeiro.
