The last year I've become more and more involved with Dynamo, the open source visual programming interface that eats, drinks and sleeps with Revit. Since Christmas I've arranged multiple Computational Design workshops at Dark with the goal of increasing interest in visual programming and narrowing the

I had the great pleasure of presenting Revit Reinforcement problems, solutions, features and workflows at the Revit Technology Conference Australasia 2014 in Melbourne Australia last week. As always on these conferences I get to meet so many interesting and smart people who share my passion for 3D digital building design,

One of the things that I both do and enjoy most at my work is teaching Revit to architects and engineers. Building on my experiences the last couple of years, and in particular the last year at Dark, I've come to formalize the different training sessions that I

Tonight I added a new section to my website: Training. I mean to provide Revit training to whoever wishes to learn about using Revit to the best of it's abilities, and I look to make this website section the portal for pre and post training information and content.

One of the joys of working in an architectural practice like Dark is there's a slight chance I actually get asked to design something one day. I was recently challenged to produce a proposal for a glass ceiling on a project I work on. After some playing around

Some time ago I stumbled upon the work of designer Sang Hoon Kim while surfing the Internet. Bam! Revit model. Well, "Bam! Revit model" is slightly exaggerating. It took me about a month of tweaking before I was satisfied enough to write a post. I'm still

In my series of modeling stories that relate to water, next up is the roof of my local public bath. The last couple of times I've been there with my children I haven't been able to resist fantasizing about modeling the ceiling in Revit. It'
