ArchiCAD Jobs

There are a lot of places to look for ArchiCAD jobs, but usually the positions are scattered among a whole variety of other opportunities. So it pays to keep an eye on local AIA boards, craigslist, the Archinect job board (when you click on this link make sure to add the keyword “ArchiCAD”), etc. And on many sites you can filter the job postings by keywords; searching the jobs on

I Quit my job this week. What have you been up to?

Seriously. After 4 1/2 years at SALA Architects, I’ve left to pursue other adventures. I left my very stable job. A job where my coworkers appreciated what I provided for the firm and would love for me to stay there forever. During the worse economic meltdown in almost a century. With a wife in school full-time. And two young daughters. Happy Birthday Madeleine. You’re 3 tomorrow! And only a vague

Photos have a date and time stamp…

Definitive Proof of the Shell Tool’s Awesomeness

Since the release of ArchiCAD 15 I’ve enjoyed using the shell tool–more for it’s ability to be reshaped in 3D, plan, section, and elevation than its crazy form-making opportunities. BIMES has created a 4 minute video that highlights how impressive and versatile the shell tool is and I am just blown away. Enjoy. This video originally came from a blog post by BIMES that explains the origin and reasoning behind this

So Long 2011. Happy Holidays and here’s to a great 2012.

To Close out 2011, here’s a great video of Ice Cube talking about the Eames. It’s from Pacific Standard Time the birth of the LA art scene.

I hope you enjoy it and I’ll see you in 2012 with a lot of great new ArchiCAD stuff for the
