How to choose software for designing in BIM
There are several software options for designing in BIM. In common, they all share the same purpose: to offer technology and tools so that students and professionals can create and document their projects in a safe and reliable way. However, the similarities end there. There are major variations in the quantity and quality of the tools. The programs are quite different when it comes to their ability to support collaborative work inside and outside the office and to exchange data reliably and securely, among other factors. In addition to the criteria mentioned above, the cost of computing infrastructure and the price of licenses are extremely important items, which is why choosing the right software should be treated as a key part of the BIM implementation process. In this talk, architect João Gaspar presents an innovative method to help you learn how to choose the BIM modeling software best suited to your needs. The talk will take place on July 7, Thursday, from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM, at TI Lab, and will be streamed live online. Our talks count as complementary activities in undergraduate architecture, engineering, and design courses. The event is free, but spots are limited!Registration

About the speaker
João Gaspar is an architect, graduated from FAU-USP in 1999, and gives numerous talks on BIM, technology, and the use of computing for architecture, engineering, and design. He has more than 16 years of experience in teaching, research, and the creation of educational materials, leading TI Lab (a training center specialized in BIM) and ProBooks Editora, both headquartered in São Paulo.
In the past year (2015), among João Gaspar's various professional and research activities, notable highlights include the launch of the book Revit step by step - volume I, the publication of papers at major conferences such as CIBW78 2015 (Eindhoven, Netherlands) and TIC 2015 (Recife), as well as being an invited speaker for the round table "BIM and Education" at SIGraDI 2015 (Florianópolis) and signing a technical cooperation agreement on BIM processes with the Planning Secretariat of the State Government of Santa Catarina.
TI Lab, in operation since 2000, offers more than 20 training courses, notably including Revit, ArchiCAD, Vectorworks, Rhino, SketchUp, Microstation, and DProfiler. TI Lab is an authorized training center for Bentley, McNeel, and BeckTECH.
ProBooks is a publisher founded in 2008, originating from the production of educational content for TI Lab's courses. Our focus is editing and
publishing content related to technology and digital design for architecture and design. ProBooks Editora's portfolio includes, among others, the books
ArchiCAD step by step, Vectorworks step by step, Revit step by step - volume I, and SketchUp Pro 2013 step by step; the latter has translations into English and Spanish.
