Given that the rare stamp from a botched batch — depicting an upside-down airplane — was later sold at auction for $525,000, I think I’ll keep my collector’s edition of Makers of the Environment. Thanks again!

Thanks for clarifying!

btw. the grey boxes in the print version are my attempt to differentiate fact and opinion from the design fiction parts of the book. The grey boxed text should be considered in the same context as all of the other AECOO books in the BIM/IP genre. All other text in the body of the book is design fiction.

I got behind on reading the blogs I track and just picked up on your post on Sunday. I really appreciate your picking up the mistakes on pages 23-25 of Makers of the Environment. The redundant text evidently was added in the last round of paste up and everyone missed it. Fortunately it only occurred in the print version and none of the many ebooks.

The graphic designers have the issue in hand and in about a week the book will come off the shelf for a couple of days and go back up with the issue fixed. One of the many advantages of starting your own publishing house is that things like this can be corrected with little or no fuss.

I recognize that some have bought the book with this error. For them we are offering a replacement book as soon as the error is fixed. I would appreciate your letting your readers know that if they will send me a note at finith@designatlantic.com referencing their purchase, as well as their physical mailing address, I will make sure that they get a replacement copy as soon as the updated book becomes available.

If it were not for mistakes, how would we learn and improve.
Best regards, Finith

For that reason, and the fact that a program like Revit allows you to build virtual models that contain information that can be used during construction and after the building is completed, I would recommend any other 3D program if your primary use will be visualization. Hope that helps!

Do I need to learn BIM? I definitely love architecture but I do not have a professional or academic degree such as B.Arch. Can revit help me visualize complex structures like metal support grids, webs etc…basically structures like the the swiss re-insurance building (The Gherkin in London) and other complex architectures. I know a lot is parametric and also that revit is used where building documentation is needed along with models but I don’t know how it compares to 3ds max for an archviz person like me. Long question cut short – Do I need to be an architect and a BIM specialist to learn revit? What are the requisites to learn revit and how can it help me?
Thanks.
