Take advantage of the economic downturn by sharpening your digital pencil.
As part of it's "Survival 101" series, the AIA will be providing an introductory seminar on how Google SketchUp can be put to work in the architect's office. See how this fun to use and relatively easy to learn software can be implemented throughout a project.
This seminar will be an introduction to SketchUp (using Release 7, Pro version) for use in an architect's office, and will cover the basics of what SketchUp (SU) can do by itself as well as how it works with other professional software, particularly AutoCAD and Photoshop. The seminar is not intended as a class to teach SU (although some basics will be covered), but rather to show how SU can be integrated into an architect's process and be used to maximum effect. The presentation portion of the seminar will run 45 minutes to an hour, with the remaining time left open to answer specific questions from the group.
Attendees will earn 1 AIA continuing education credit, with the following learning objectives:
Objective 1: To understand the use of SketchUp as a multi-level communication tool.
Objective 2: To review basic architectural tools in SketchUp including materials, sun/shade analysis, animation, and presentation styles
Objective 3: To explore interactivity with other professional software
Objective 4: To review additional resources
DATE: Wednesday, April 1, 2009
TIME: 8:00 a.m. Registration & breakfast; 8:30 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. Seminar
LOCATION: AIA Arizona - 30 N. 3rd Avenue, Suite 200, Phoenix, AZ 85003
