TABLE OF CONTENTS This gallery of projects comes from architects all around the globe who have embraced the move to a smarter way of working on projects and who use BIM as their main methodology. They have different approaches to how they start a project, from a conceptual massing or legacy CAD files to hand-sketching and importing from other modeling applications. All have different skill levels with Revit, but what ties them together is that they managed to produce beautiful architectural examples using BIM. They have all adapted their workflows and are able to offer a competitive advantage as a result.
All projects shown have been modeled in Revit, using many of the concepts, principles, and techniques explained throughout this book. The renderings vary: some are done within Revit, using Accurender, the rendering engine that was embedded in Revit up to release 2008; the majority, however, have been rendered using 3ds Max and VRay, producing some stunning visuals.
BIM is not a myth. These are real people, real projects, and real sources of inspiration. And don't forget: architecture.
We would like to express our sincerest gratitude to all of the architects who generously shared their work.
Enjoy!
