>There’s an app for that

>Architects are constantly trying to find new and inventive ways to reach out, make contact with clients, and differentiate themselves from all the rest of us trying to do the same thing. With more than 50M iphones sold and being used out there (even if you can’t call from the iphone 4), it seems to be a great way to reach a lot of people very quickly.

I say this, because I came across the first app I’ve seen for architects looking to showcase their work. Bohlin Cywinski Jackson architects extraordinaire and designers of the Apple Stores have made an app for that. Pocket BCJ. It’s a simple little app that slide shows the firms work across the country.


Now if they’d only design the Apple stores in Revit. How cool would THAT be?

The next monthly meeting of the New York City Revit Users Group is this Thursday, August 5 at 6:00 pm Eastern. The featured topic is “BIM for Project Delivery: Methods that Approach Integration” with Scott Wood, AIA, LEED AP from Tishman Construction.

This presentation will explore uses of BIM in post construction document phases, discuss contract language that relates to these uses and describe methods for delivering models that can be efficiently deployed for these uses.
