I thought I lost this model!

It’s been almost a decade since I’ve posted anything here on iRevit.com and you have probably moved on from Revit and into Ai and didn't even know you were subscribed to this blog, but I had to share. I finally found the Revit model file of my Haueresque CW panel #5, which was inspired by Autodesk’s exhibition of Erwin Hauer’s sculptures which was organized by Tanja Dzambazova for Siigraph a while back… and had to 3D print it in case I lost it again! It looks awesome in physical form! 

You might recognize the model from the cover of Introducing Revit Architecture 2010

Cheers!

AIA Philadelphia TAP Announcement

In the AIA Philadelphia Chapter newsletter that was published July 27th 2011, the AIA announced the creation of the Philadelphia TAP group. I am posting this here because Revit currently plays a major role in the technology of the AEC industry and will most likely be a consistent thread of commonality weaving through the many topics of discussion. Follow the link to read the announcement. The announcement describes the need for a Technology in Architectural Practice(TAP) discussion in Philadelphia, it's affiliation with the National TAP group and identifies it’s Groupspaces website and contact information.
The announcement also requests nominations for Advisory Board members and encourages membership by all industry professionals in the Philadelphia area. If you are in Philadelphia, join the discussion here.

Autodesk goes Open-source!

In a major change from its business model, Autodesk has made a software application (or utility in this case) Open-source! It is another example of Autodesk embracing the sizeable makersphere of which I am a big fan.
