Trades & Technology

For undergraduate courses in Architecture in which Revit Architecture 2009 software is used.

Revit Architecture 2009: A Comprehensive Guide focuses on a work-flow methodology, covering the tools most necessary to build skills incrementally and become productive quickly. The book is comprised of a hands-on series of tutorials, arranged hierarchically, to acquaint students with the features and methodology of the Revit 2009 program. In the final chapter, a comprehensive building tutorial, based on a real-world project, pulls together all of the cumulative knowledge gained by completing the previous exercises. The book is specifically designed to be used either as a self-instructional course or in a classroom context. This book, which is written by a practicing architect and educator, appeals to architects, architectural draftsmen, and students because it approaches the use of REVIT for real-world application from the perspective of a professional in the field. Because the author is a teacher and trainer, the text is both student- and teacher-friendly.
