UNL Arch 223: Computer Applications In Design

The Fall Semester kicks off at the University of Nebraska tomorrow.  I will be giving Monday night lectures as part of Arch 223:  Computer Applications in Design.  This is an undergrad course and this will be some student's first class in the world of architecture and design.

Finally!  My chance to corrupt impressionable youth with digital technology.

I hope to post cool course-related stuff here... stay tuned!

ACADIA Workshop: Python Scripting for Revit and Vasari

This October, I will be instructing an ACADIA workshop:  Python Scripting for Revit and Vasari.  The workshop will cover the basics of using Python with an emphasis on the Conceptual Modeling capabilities of Revit and Vasari.  We will also investigate opportunities for extracting information from models and enabling workflows with other data sources.

Be sure to sign up at the ACADIA website and check out the other workshop offerings along with the conference info!
