Discover New AIA Resources – Now Live

Rebuild and Renew: The AIA Plan
http://www.aia.org/rebuildandrenew
As the building sector accounts for nearly one in 10 dollars of U.S. GDP, the economy is dependent on strong design and construction industries. And America’s architects are ready to jumpstart the economy; the AIA has developed an aggressive plan that will stimulate the building industry by creating 21st century communities.

AIA 2009 National Convention and Design Exposition
San Francisco, April 30–May 2, at the Moscone Center.

Explore this year’s convention theme, The Power of Diversity: Practice in a Complex World, with hundreds of continuing education sessions and professional tours highlighting such topics as globalization of practice, new values in design, the reassertion of the architect’s role in society, sustainability, and the resulting new values in design.

Reed Construction Data to Release Upgraded Version of BIM Content Management Software
The February 2009 release of SBL v3.2 will add new features and enhancements including the drag-and-drop family publisher, allowing users to automatically publish and load Revit families into SmartBIM Library from a user’s file system, Autodesk® Revit project files or Autodesk® Seek. Read the press release here or visit their site.

The Autodesk Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) Microsite – Now Live
The Autodesk IPD Microsite will guide you through the five phases of the IPD process to show how integrated teamwork optimizes and enables sustainably built environments.
