Autodesk University is coming up (December 1 - 3 in Las Vegas) and Dave will be all over the place!

CASE was commissioned by Autodesk to develop an exercise and author a white paper demonstrating the new conceptual modeling tools for Revit Architecture 2010.

Since it looks like Robert isn't planning to add information online about the AU Design Computation Symposium that I mentioned earlier, I've decided to make my lecture available here.

Cut&Paste updated their website with images and information on all of the AU 3D Design Slam events.

Check it out.

After extensive training and intense competition, Dave emerged victorious in the "Less AND More" category of the inaugural Cut&Paste 3d Design Slam at Autodesk University.

I taught a class on parametric design modeling using 3ds Max at Autodesk University. The class gave an overview of many of the techniques that I cover on Design ReForm. Specifically, the class demonstrated how to use 3ds Max modeling tools to build iterative parametric design systems, in order to reduce the amount of explicit modeling so that you can focus your efforts on design.

I was invited to present during the inaugural Design Computation Symposium at Autodesk University 2008. The event, organized by by Robert Aish, Director of Software Development at Autodesk, brought together some of the leading practitioners of computational design from across the AEC industry.

I taught a workshop at Columbia GSAPP, along with Fed and Josh Emig from SHoP Architects, focused on the use of new technology in the production of full-scale building component systems. The workshop emphasized the use of these tools in order to facilitate better communication and collaboration, rather than the isolated study of technique.

In April 2007, I was interviewed by Architectural Record for an article called "Transformative Tools Start to Take Hold." The author outlines the broad basis of BIM and then describes through a series of case studies with owners, architects, engineers and builders, how BIM specifically impacted their projects.
