El momento mas esperado por toda Sudamerica unida 🔥, gracias por el todo trabajo que han compartido hasta ahora, han sido una enorme inspiración.

Show it better and Upstairs .. Together, hallelujah!!

Thank you so much for this interview, it was very informative.

I find I could relate to 90% of the things you are speaking about. I also graduated with a Master of Architecture however my passion was always driven by visualization. For me, I find that Arch Viz is a "weird" grey area as it relates to architecture. Arch Viz finds itself lodged between the industries of Architecture, Design, Film/Animation, Video Games, Environment Art etc. It's such a crazy overlap.

You guys are so inspirational. Without your wise words, endless enthusiasm and positivity, and clean unambiguous straight talking (i.e. without the inaccessible academic esoteric archispeak) has helped me understand a lot about the way I design and present, and consequently made me realise what I can achieve. Sincere thanks for helping me get through my masters as a mature student. I'll stay subscribed for the next part of the journey. Much respect.

That was great! Nice to see you mentioning Enscape! I've been producing a lot of content about Enscape, I trully believe that real time rendering is not a thing about the future, is the present! 😊

[Funtime]

having this discussion up front for students practitioners and professional in the 3d and architectural world to know how the technology and some other tools can be integrated into architectural design i myself first think 3dsmax is the best tool for designing and doing the visualization with the vray but i now happen to knw this software called rhino and grasshopper which is so amazing for computational design and by knowing some of the tools from previous 3d software's like Revit, 3dsmax helped me a lot in knowing grasshopper and rhino in no time and of course knowing it for the future so i do encourage anybody who wants to knw computational design to try them out

This channel was out the blue. I follow BlessedArch and 30x30 but I didn't think there were any other architect channels.

[nixauchnix]

Aww you guys looks soo exited and happy at 2:17 😊😊 great collaboration, comment for the algorithm

[Angel-hosj]

My main concern with Revit is the lost of the visualization aspect. I would love to see tutorials on how we can move from Rhino / Sketchup / Conceptualizations going into Revit. What that workflow is like in terms of visual representation in Revit.

[luisenriquemoreno]

I’m trying to apply as an intern to BIG and this video is extremely helpful

[faberemilio]

amazing collaborations! congrats Steven!

[maxconstructioncarpentry]

Very insightful conversation. Thanks for setting it up.

[jeetmori]

HAHAHA Oliver making a pun on Olly for bringing all of the knowledge for a big company called BIG is just pure gold!! 5:00 Thank me later.

[eauesas]

I reallyyy likee your page . I think Every University should have a guy like you giving a these courses of design

[nazigol]

can u do urban planning portfolios as well?

[gabethedog]

very interesting just found this video and i love BIG and their approach to design, Im an architectural student until now everything is online sadly but cause of that im diving deep into rhino, Grasshopper, Lumion, Revit and i slowly am realising that Rhino especially feels like picking up pen and paper which is crazy fun :D

[farhadeeba]

Awesome I hope you guys continue with this great work and provide us with more valuable content related to architecture

[dranscre]

Very interesting! How can I send you my portfolio to be reviewed?

[eastudio-K]

so why Enscape vs Twin Motion, is it quality? I've been on Twin motion and love it, but dont know enscape that well

[tusharpandey]

I don't know Revit and the only 3d software I know is 3ds max and SketchUp, so is there a chance of me getting a good internship or job?
