San Francisco















San Francisco Federal Building/ Morphosis
















De Young museum/ Herzog & de Meuron

















Field trip to San Francisco to visit SFMoMA and walked around the city for chinese dumplings. And following Tuesday, someone from Morphosis came to BIM class for lecture. The content happened to be the Usage of BIM software in construction of San Francisco Federal Building that I just saw. They even showed us yet-built competition wining scheme and scripting knowledge behind the project.

Those lectures are priceless. Without them we'll end up just a-little-bit-smarter CAD monkeys (draft persons in a office). But some people take advantage of the BIM class in a way that they think they get better at CATIA or REVIT just showing up on class. If someone just wants to learn the usage and concept of those softwares (maybe those who are interested in project management or something), that's fine, but if s/he wants to get better at them on top, class meetings and lectures are different from lab hours.
