Design firms often rely on one
set of tools for concept modeling, another for Building Information Modeling
(BIM), and another for drafting construction details.
This fragmented workflow could be
more efficient, considering most BIM software prioritizes documentation over
design, limiting free-form modeling, and sketch tools need more robust
analytics to evaluate building performance early on.
This presentation, hosted by
François Lévy, architect and principal at François Lévy Architecture +
Interiors, offers an alternative workflow.
You’ll witness a unified design
process using Vectorworks for sketch modeling and early analytics as a stepping
stone to a comprehensive approach to BIM, detailing, and rendering.

Architect Inc. will demonstrate how small-scale interventions can create
significant, positive change in urban settings. In the City of Hamilton,
Ontario, city-owned boulevards have been converted from asphalt into vibrant
rain gardens and pollinator habitats, creating a cohesive green space in a
highly industrialized neighborhood. This webinar will follow the process of
site selection, information gathering, garden creation, and documentation of
environmental impacts.

Data Difference: Digital Workflows for Better Collaboration with Ecologists
With continuous development of technology
and legislation, this webinar focuses on digital tools and workflows that can
enhance the collaboration between landscape architects and ecologists. Joined
by Matthew Davies, a QGIS specialist from Maplango, it showcases a case study
and a habitat-rich landscape project in both Vectorworks and QGIS. The aim is
to optimise file exchange and look at the effective ways to create planting
plans for biodiversity enhancment purposes.
Following the standard project delivery,
the webinar's content places emphasis on data and a difference that GIS and import/export
capabilities in Vectorworks make for landscape professionals and their design
decisions. While the naming conventions can vary amongst the landscape
disciplines, digital tools can help to optimise the collaboration and ensure a
greater level of communication between the landscape professions.
