LARUG Presents: Building Your Tech Stack [How Anyone Can Code in AEC]

 

We are pleased to host Tadeh Hakopian presenting Paths to getting started with the necessary AEC toolset(s): Coding. 

If you don't think this is important, I surmise you have either implemented such processes already, are just entering AEC or should consider a new career ;) 

The future was here, now it's NOW! 

Get on with it!

Without (much) further ado, Join us online everywhere at 6PM PDT (GMT -7hrs) Wednesday September 23rd, 2020 (your timezone may vary) by Registering [free] at: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/4433759057934955532

YOU MUST REGISTER (FREE) BEFORE JOINING (PLEASE ;)

"As anyone who has been interested in coding knows that the path to learning software development can be tricky. There are many resources out there but not a clear start or learning path.  This talk will show you what is possible with open source (free!) tools like Python, Git, Dynamo, Javascript and more. Learn how to get started using them, what kind of developer tools you need and where to go for help. We will also see how they work with software like Revit and how to start your own coding projects meant for the built environment or anything else you want to do." -@tadeh_hakopian

 

Thanks to the TitanAEC Team for hosting our digital meeting space -and for pushing record ;)

Thanks also to YOU :)

LA Wednesday May 6th, 6pm PDT

London Thursday May 7th 1am GMT

Sydney Thursday May 7th 11am AEST

Why??? You want to deliver productivity and the bottom line: This presentation will explore, through practical examples, how a visual approach to building delivery and long term engagement can re-contextualise the value chain of our built world. 

The Missing Half of BIM - OIIIII!

Synopsis

BIM is a dichotomy between data and visuals. At its most basic, BIM is a representational visual model linked to an underlying object oriented database.

What started decades ago as a merging of design thinking in harmonious balance with technological development (that joyous union led to CAD - Computer Aided Design), has skewed over time to be heavily data focused as an industry (... an industry predicated on design, by the way... ), and the importance of the visual model has been obscured underneath layers of technicality. 

When I cast my gaze across the industry, It seems in many cases, it has become more about the BIM than the building!

So... does your BIM make you and your industry more productive? 

Data suggests NO!... (and we all trust our data).
How is the missing half of BIM leading to a decade long decline in productivity across our industry?... and how long is a productivity loss in our industry even sustainable?

This presentation will explore, through practical examples, how a visual approach to building delivery and long term engagement can re-contextualise the value chain of our built world.

Untitled #32 | LARUG April 2020

First off: JOIN US AND BE 1ST!!!

First to see ████'█ ███████ in █████ ████ :))

Giving us an exclusive world premiere of ███ing ███'█ ███ in █████ ████ will be two (at

least) of ADSKs own... So there's that ;)

Our long time friend Scott D Davis and his colleague (and our ███ friend) Scott Buchanan will be ███ing us with all the █████ awesome ██████ in █████ and how we can all █████ more ██████ and ███ with the ███ ██████████ ███████'s!!!

If you can't make the Los Angeles Revit Users Group (LARUG) meetings in person or have never been, well now you can! Everyone's personal here is now right there (here)! Where? There! NO, HERE!!! 

We may not be able to physically █████ each other or make ███ contact across the room, with that knowing look as if to say 'that █████ ███ has never worked but at least ████ made it shinier' but we can all turn on our cameras and have some virtual fun next Wednesday!!!

Now don't get me wrong, the 17+ years of live meetings have seen some great ███████ presentations and networking, have created some good friends, some ████, some ███████ and colleagues and a lot of inspirational work in AEC. 

For now we're obviously meeting virtually only and will continue until we can't.

Whether in Los Angeles (obv) or in Orange County (CA), the "Inland Empire", San Diego, San Francisco or even Bangalore... yes, we've done meetings in and from those locales and more, like Australia, New Zealand... but I digress;, well, we can't get together in person right now but we can all certainly join each other virtually and make it fun (the Scotts will be bringing the █████ ████ and ████ into how ██████ ████ and we will bring the questions & comments ;)

So (finally;) here's the info: Please register and then join us for:

JOIN LARUG HERE -well, wherever you'll be will be "here" (you know, wherever we each are will be there and here if you get what I mean ;) If you don't get what I mean...
What I mean is the only complete, live LARUG meeting this month will be online via GoTo Meeting: info and links above and below ;)We will record and post a version soon thereafter, but we will be interacting with the live attendees Q/A, etc...

Though we will miss having the networking and live interactions of our mostly local meetings we do love spreading out and focusing back on the larger connected VDC communities worldwide :)

As far as the beer and pizza, etc. that we normally have provided, this month we will each have to supply our own individually... but that just means we can have whatever we each want LOL! If we continue virtually only I will figure something out for refreshments for attendees worldwide... I have ideas, just ran out of time this month ;)
