Prezi for Architects - Available Now!

As many of you know, I released BIM After Dark almost a month ago.  The response has been awesome and the feedback has been great.  If you have not checked out the BIM After Dark website yet, click here.  Originally, I packaged "Prezi for Architects" as bonus materials for the "Complete Package".  This will remain as is.. with a new option.

I received quite a few emails from people who purchased the "Videos" and "Videos Plus" package asking if I could offer "Prezi for Architects" on it's own.  So I did!  There is now an options to buy the Prezi videos and templates separately (if you so desire):

Have you heard of Prezi? Have you used it yet? Are you still using those boring old PowerPoint templates for your presentations? You've embraced technology enough to be using BIM authoring tools but you still present with PowerPoint!?

Get with the times! Prezi is perfect for architecture!

The Revit Kid Project - Early Childhood Magnet School

Because I know how much I love seeing other's Revit projects I will continue to share some of mine.  This project was interesting in that my professor only gave us 5 days to design and present it (that is on top of working and 3 other classes!).

Given the time frame I took an interesting approach by nailing down the concept and a bubble diagram first and then building the Revit model... I actually brought in this concept sketch to Revit and using the bubble diagram (and all the ideas I had in my head) I quickly created the Revit model.

I then made the final hand sketched floor plan using the Revit model!  I know that sounds strange but it actually worked out really well.

Enjoy...  Just click the arrows to the right and it will present in the correct order.

The Revit Kid Project - Istanbul Waterfront (Revit and Prezi)

I took a stab at using Prezi for my last Studio presentation.  I have to say that is is very nice.  Working inside the browser is an interesting way to do things but it worked.  It was not hard to learn and they offer some Student benefits (500mb free storage I believe).  Not to mention when you are finished you can download the presentation as a Flash file and can run it on virtually any computer.  

The workflow ended up being pretty simple:  Sketches, drawings, Revit, Prezi....

Another great feature is the ability to pick and zoom freely (beyond the "paths" you create".  This worked great for discussions with the jury after my presentation.
