As the world changes and businesses adapt, so do the office spaces that we use. More than ever, we hear about companies trying to increase the efficiency of their existing office spaces and exploring new ways to entice employees back to work with a hybrid workspace. Join Kesoon Chance, industry specialist from Vectorworks UK to discover how to build an efficient model through the fit-out process and ways in which you can showcase these changes to your clients. Learning Objectives:- Discover effective techniques to build a 3D model of existing building conditions to enable a data-driven design process.- Observe how data-driven 3D models can help you make better-informed design decisions through analysis of the spaces and objects within the project.- Explore how to manage the different project phases within the software: Category A fit-out and Category B fit-out.- Review the benefits of an integrated workflow to better represent your design vision to clients with visualization techniques.Register

Algorithms-aided design tools are quickly becoming a standard of the AEC industry. They can bring endless opportunities for customization and automation within your design software and allow you more experimentation and optimization within your designs. Algorithms-aided design can be intimidating to a new user, but the most important thing you need to get started is a problem you want to solve. Once you get started, the true possibilities begin to open up. In this presentation, I will discuss some basics of algorithmic modeling, give some examples of scripts that you can build in BIM software, and look at several real-world algorithmic modeling success stories. Learning Objectives: Identify the multiple benefits of using algorithmic modeling within a design and BIM software.Describe how algorithmic modeling can be used to create multiple iterations and increase time efficiency within the design process.Demonstrate how algorithmic modeling can be used to analyze data and optimize designs.Discover how designers are currently using algorithms-aided design in their work.Register
