Think Architecture, Inc.’s Post

Our next team member highlight is our trusted BIM Designer, Nick Pinsonneault. #SNYLTurns20 🎤When did you first become interested in architecture or engineering as a career? "Back in high school I took all of the architecture classes and had a great teacher that really created a foundation of desire to work in this industry." 🎤What is the greatest potential for architecture and/or engineering to shape a neighborhood community? "I think design helps people appreciate the space that they are in and bring community involvement when they are proud of a well designed area." 🎤If you could sum up your outlook on life in a movie quote or lyric, what would it be? “Every champion was once a contender who refused to give up” -Rocky 🎤What is your favorite Boston or Denver-area building or structure? Why? "Populus Hotel in Denver, Colorado. The form and function of the Building will be an asset to Denver." 🎤What kind of projects do you want to work in the future? "I enjoy both commercial and residential projects that benefit the community."

The Wilshire Grand Center, LA In our first post on "Iconic Global Projects" utilizing Building Information Modeling (BIM), we’re thrilled to highlight the Wilshire Grand Center in Los Angeles, #USA. The Wilshire Grand Center is a testament to innovation and #Architectural excellence. Rising 1,100 feet above downtown LA, this 73-story skyscraper is the tallest building west of the Mississippi River #BIM facilitated meticulous planning, innovative design, and seamless stakeholder coordination. It enabled #ClashDetection, risk mitigation, and significant time and cost savings. BIM supported sustainability through detailed analysis and optimized construction sequencing. Additionally, it provides long-term benefits for facility management, ensuring efficient maintenance and operations. 🌐Visit: https://lnkd.in/dsKWa4Zv #popularbimprojects #LosAngelesArchitecture #SkyscraperDesign #BuildingInformationModeling #BIMinla #ConstructionInnovation #ArchitecturalMarvel #EngineeringExcellence #SustainableDesign #ModernArchitecture #LAIcon #EngineeringInnovation #SmartConstruction #DesignTechnology

🌟 COX Architecture and 𝗕𝗘𝗔𝗠: Optimizing Efficiency and Workflow 🌟 The expansion of Canberra’s Australian War Memorial, designed by Cox Architecture, showcases the fusion of innovation and heritage. A key driver of this project’s success is 𝗕𝗘𝗔𝗠! Michael Ferreyra, Project Lead at COX, highlights the impact of 𝗕𝗘𝗔𝗠: “Autodesk allows us to bring in complex geometry from other platforms, sync it up, and coordinate with all the other disciplines. 𝗕𝗘𝗔𝗠 by MKS Dtech enhances Revit’s capabilities, allowing easy interoperability between Rhino and Revit. This integration simplifies once-complex workflows and helps us manage intricate geometries with ease.” 𝗕𝗘𝗔𝗠 streamlines the design process, enabling Cox Architecture to push the boundaries of architectural design while maintaining efficient and effective collaboration.

BIM and planting are a match made in heaven the way I see it. 🌳 💻 Now, that BIM adoption is wide spread amongst landscape architects, more and more tools are developed to elevate this workflow. At Environment for REVIT® we keep developing more tools to support these workflows and in this article we cover the benefits of taking your planting plans to the next BIM level. So what planting feature do you wish for? Comment below and we'll try to make it come true ✨ #landscapearchitecture #BIM #Revit #innovation #plants

The landscape architecture industry is increasingly adopting BIM to meet the demand for data-rich projects. 3D models alone are no longer enough, requiring additional metadata to ensure the design aligns with project goals. For example, plant selection requires specific data based on factors like region, water needs, cost, and sunlight requirements. Enriching planting elements with all necessary information poses a significant challenge.

Snaptrude’s Create Building feature automates your massing block into a BIM model so that you don’t have to waste time redrawing your design. Starting with massing gives you time to focus on the form of the building, making iterations easier as you go. Once the massing of the building is ready, using the Create Building tool, you can go from block to BIM in seconds. The Create Building tool is designed to automate repetitive drawing processes so you can spend more time designing better buildings. #BIM #architecture #AEC #3dmodeling #Snaptrude

Starting your BIM project on the right foot is crucial. The first step? 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧! Neglecting geolocation is a surprisingly common mistake which can lead to: ⏱️ Loss of time 🔎 Wrong clash detection 😵💫 Confusion on site 💸 Loss of money Geolocation only takes a few minutes! It pins your model to the ultimate real-world address: Latitude and Longitude. That way everyone involved, from designers to builders, knows exactly where things go. 💡 Ready to learn more?
