One of the coolest things I did so far this year was teaching Dynamo to engineering students at Bergen University College. I used the same exercise that I taught world leading digital design specialists at Autodesk University in Las Vegas late in 2014: The atrium roof of the Smithsonian Museum

This is Christine. One week ago she was my boss. Architect and CEO of Dark Architects. Today she is not. I have some things to say about the way she led my company. My job is largely about making others better. My passion is enabling architects and engineers with digital

There's a voice inside my head. It constantly reminds me of how retarded I am. How much mess is going on inside my impulsive and unfocused mind. It reminds me of how many smart real engineers I know. Smart people who know and do actual engineering for a

In exactly one week I leave for Las Vegas and Autodesk University Conference and Exhibition 2014. This will be the fifth time I attend this conference, and the third time in a row. This event will be far more intense than the four previous conferences combined. Here's a

A white sheet. For the first time for as long as I can remember, I start drawing on a white sheet. Not a sheet of paper. A clean, untouched white canvas on a computer screen. I use white paper sheets all the time, but I have never started to draw

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

It was damn cold in Drammen in October. My girlfriend's mother's old bicycle was struggling underneath me, more because of the state of the bike itself than the weight it's passenger. It was damn early as well. It was 7 am and I was

One of the things I really wanted to do when I started my current position as Digital Design Manager at Dark was to try to generate some interest around computational design. I'm absolutely no computational nor design expert, but I have some interest when it comes to conceptual

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 a previous life, as a reseller consultant, I had the opportunity and extreme pleasure of assisting Multiconsult with making the most out of one of their first and biggest BIM projects. Multiconsult is a Norwegian engineering company with a big Oslo-office, and they sure as hell did not

I have this friend who I've known since before I became an engineer and that I currently work with at Rambøll. His name is Anders, and since it's mostly because of him that I started learning Revit in the first place I believe a modest mention

In my handout material for the already mentioned class at Autodesk University I wrote an introduction discussing my motivation for doing what I'm doing. This is only a part of my motivations, and written with concrete reinforcement in mind. However, I believe in all possible humbleness that the
