BIM for Small Projects AIA webinar

[Christiaan]

This case study webinar on BIM for Small Projects is worth a listen. The 2nd & 3rd case studies by @Shoegnome and @BrianSkripac are particularly good.

Did you look at the first one with Fran?ois Levy?

I didn't, thanks.

[Dieter @ DWorks]

There aren't any projects done with VW? Or am I not looking good?

[Jeffrey W Ouellette]

The first webinar in the series has Fran?ois L?vy, an architect in Austin, TX, Vectorworks user, and former employer of mine, showcasing how he uses Vectorworks in his projects, including some advanced calculation techniques for determining passive ventilation for a design.

I saw an AIA webinar video this week that gave high praise to Levy's book, and showed a slide of the book cover. The rest of the presentation was a building project put together by Riveters.

I dont bother with Paid Advertisments BIM webinars,but I must say they are about to complete (5 years) the Fiona Stanley Hospital

http://www.fionastanley.health.wa.gov.au/about/index.cfm

and the mechanical Bim (Ventilation,material handling,control systems etc)is a game changer, so much so, that the next project the childrens hospital

will be "A Shoe in for Revit" and I woulnt be surprised if Autodesk doesnt get National Geograhic to cover the BIM? Now Id pay (TV) to see that, considering what Ive already seen in the FSH Labs,it was BIM at its BEST.
