Acknowledgments
Hats off to the innovators who conceptualized, designed, and made Revit happen. You have
changed the world!
   Huge thanks to all the faithful followers! Without you, Revit wouldn’t be what it is today.
   Personal thanks to the Grand Master Philippe Drouant, without whose expertise, generous
help, and amazing illustrations we wouldn’t have been able to make this book. Many thanks to
Guillermo Melantoni and Erik Egbertson, whose participation was crucial in getting a prior ver-
sion of this book out of the door; to the inspirational leaders Mario Guttman and Ken Sanders
for their contributions; to Matt Jezyk, Lira Nikolovska, Nathan Lockwood, Jaap van der Weide,
Heather Lech, Zach Kron, Cindy Wang, Tamas Badics, and so many other colleagues for their
heroic effort to create the fantastic new Conceptual Design tools in Revit 2010 that are paving a
path to a whole new working paradigm.
   Sincere thanks to all the hardworking developers, product designers, and quality assurance
testers from the development team of Revit, for their dedication, passion, and love of Revit.
   And finally, thanks are due to our friend and technical editor Phil Read and our excellent sup-
port team at Sybex, who helped us develop and focus the content. Thanks to Laurene Sorensen
for helping us form complete sentences; to Liz Welch and Linda Recktenwald for dotting the i’s
and crossing the t’s; to Liz Britten for keeping us honest; and a special thanks to Willem Knibbe,
whose constant support and willingness to put up with our “issues” made us the high-maintenance
authors we are today.
   We would like to express our sincerest gratitude to our friends, the architects who generously
shared their work, allowing us to inspire you with it: Håvard Vasshaug; DARK Arkitekter AS; To

About the Authors
          Greg Demchak is a designer, technology advocate, urban explorer,
          and post-apocalyptic film producer. He holds architectural degrees
          from the University of Oregon and Massachusetts Institute of
          Technology and is a LEED Accredited Professional. He is a product
          designer for Autodesk, and has been working with Revit since 2000.
          His latest work on Revit was the design of a new conceptual model-
          ing environment. He has been teaching at the Boston Architectural
          College since 2003, and is currently the principal investigator for the
          2009 Solar Decathlon competition. He resides in Massachusetts.



          Tatjana Dzambazova became known to the AEC industry through
          her passionate evangelizing of Revit in its pioneer days (2001–2005)
          and for being the product manager for Revit Architecture (2005–
          2007). After this, she moved on to research of Web 2.0, social
          networking, and virtual worlds and later moved on to conceptual
          design, design computation, and digital fabrication in AEC, advo-
          cating the broader Autodesk technology portfolio relating to those
          trends. Before joining Autodesk in 2000, she practiced architecture
          for 12 years in Vienna and London. At Autodesk, she focused on
          advocating for technology and established herself as an interna-
          tionally renowned, inspiring speaker who fosters relationships with
          architects and industry leaders all around the globe. Powered by
          seemingly unlimited sources of energy and passion, Tanja manages
          to make three days out of one, and is always on the hunt for what’s
          new and exciting in the world of architecture and technology. Tanja
          is mad about wild animals, is a compulsive reader, and loves riding
          her Ducati Monster and playing Scrabble and Texas Hold ’Em. She
          currently lives in San Francisco.
          Eddy Krygiel is a senior project architect, a LEED Accredited
          Professional, and an Autodesk Authorized Author at HNTB
          Architects headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri. He has been
          using Revit since version 5.1 to complete projects ranging from
          single-family residences and historic remodels to 1.12-million-
          square-foot office buildings. Eddy is responsible for implementing
          BIM at his firm and also consults for other architecture and con-
          tracting firms around the country looking to implement BIM. For
          the last four years, he has been teaching Revit to practicing archi-
          tects and architectural students in the Kansas City area and has
          lectured around the nation on the use of BIM in the construction
          industry. Eddy also coauthored Green BIM, a book on sustainability
          and BIM, with Bradley Nies (Sybex, 2008).

  • 9. Acknowledgments Hats off to the innovators who conceptualized, designed, and made Revit happen. You have changed the world! Huge thanks to all the faithful followers! Without you, Revit wouldn’t be what it is today. Personal thanks to the Grand Master Philippe Drouant, without whose expertise, generous help, and amazing illustrations we wouldn’t have been able to make this book. Many thanks to Guillermo Melantoni and Erik Egbertson, whose participation was crucial in getting a prior ver- sion of this book out of the door; to the inspirational leaders Mario Guttman and Ken Sanders for their contributions; to Matt Jezyk, Lira Nikolovska, Nathan Lockwood, Jaap van der Weide, Heather Lech, Zach Kron, Cindy Wang, Tamas Badics, and so many other colleagues for their heroic effort to create the fantastic new Conceptual Design tools in Revit 2010 that are paving a path to a whole new working paradigm. Sincere thanks to all the hardworking developers, product designers, and quality assurance testers from the development team of Revit, for their dedication, passion, and love of Revit. And finally, thanks are due to our friend and technical editor Phil Read and our excellent sup- port team at Sybex, who helped us develop and focus the content. Thanks to Laurene Sorensen for helping us form complete sentences; to Liz Welch and Linda Recktenwald for dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s; to Liz Britten for keeping us honest; and a special thanks to Willem Knibbe, whose constant support and willingness to put up with our “issues” made us the high-maintenance authors we are today.

  • 10. About the Authors Greg Demchak is a designer, technology advocate, urban explorer, and post-apocalyptic film producer. He holds architectural degrees from the University of Oregon and Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is a LEED Accredited Professional. He is a product designer for Autodesk, and has been working with Revit since 2000. His latest work on Revit was the design of a new conceptual model- ing environment. He has been teaching at the Boston Architectural College since 2003, and is currently the principal investigator for the 2009 Solar Decathlon competition. He resides in Massachusetts. Tatjana Dzambazova became known to the AEC industry through her passionate evangelizing of Revit in its pioneer days (2001–2005) and for being the product manager for Revit Architecture (2005– 2007). After this, she moved on to research of Web 2.0, social networking, and virtual worlds and later moved on to conceptual design, design computation, and digital fabrication in AEC, advo- cating the broader Autodesk technology portfolio relating to those trends. Before joining Autodesk in 2000, she practiced architecture for 12 years in Vienna and London. At Autodesk, she focused on advocating for technology and established herself as an interna- tionally renowned, inspiring speaker who fosters relationships with architects and industry leaders all around the globe. Powered by seemingly unlimited sources of energy and passion, Tanja manages to make three days out of one, and is always on the hunt for what’s new and exciting in the world of architecture and technology. Tanja is mad about wild animals, is a compulsive reader, and loves riding her Ducati Monster and playing Scrabble and Texas Hold ’Em. She currently lives in San Francisco. Eddy Krygiel is a senior project architect, a LEED Accredited Professional, and an Autodesk Authorized Author at HNTB Architects headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri. He has been using Revit since version 5.1 to complete projects ranging from single-family residences and historic remodels to 1.12-million- square-foot office buildings. Eddy is responsible for implementing BIM at his firm and also consults for other architecture and con- tracting firms around the country looking to implement BIM. For the last four years, he has been teaching Revit to practicing archi- tects and architectural students in the Kansas City area and has lectured around the nation on the use of BIM in the construction industry. Eddy also coauthored Green BIM, a book on sustainability and BIM, with Bradley Nies (Sybex, 2008).
