Architect John Schroeder discusses
working with cabinet shops and
changes in architectural software.
Architect’s point of view
Breaking a little from the software
demo emphasis was a presentation by
architect John Schroeder. He discussed
the factors that contribute to better
relationships between architects, builders, and cabinet and millwork shops.
He also discussed how architects use
software and talked about Building
Information Modeling, which stands to
dramatically change the software used
by architects and may have a larger
impact on all the software used in the
construction industry. In a nutshell,
BIM-enabled programs include more
information embedded in every line and
allow for easier 3D modeling, he said. ❮
