- 1. Not Your Everyday Curtain Wall System in Autodesk速 Revit速 Architecture Philip Chan, LEED AP Co-presenter: Kelvin Tam, RA, NCARB, LEED AP - NBBJ Class Code: AB224-7C Curtain wall system is not just a tool for curtain wall or storefront. When you think outside-the-box, it can become a powerful design and documentation tool in Revit. We will showcase how to use and customize curtain wall system in Revit to solve some of the common but complex design problems. This class will explore the possibility of creating a family using the characteristics of a curtain wall system for another purpose. We will unfold the secrets of what a curtain wall system can do for you. These skills will not only benefit individual Revit users but also the entire project team. About the Speakers: Philip Chan has worked for a variety of architectural firms for over 10 years. He has been using Autodesk products for 12 years. Philip had been involved in implementing Revit for a number of Architectural firms in the Houston area which included from setting up office standards, creating and maintaining Revit library content , providing training and technical support to users. Philip has been a speaker at the local Revit user group. Philip holds a bachelors degree of Architecture and Environmental Design from University of Houston. He is also an Autodesk速 Revit速 Architecture certified professional. Contact: pchan925@yahoo.com Kelvin Tam has been growing in BIM with Autodesk速 since he was a designer at RTKL starting using Revit Building version 8.0. With a passion in BIM, Kelvin has been thinking out of the Revit package box for challenges that the program could hardly do and trying to push Revit Architecture to the very limit to satisfy architects' specific needs for design, documentation and management. He has been working as both a designer and BIM lead on a variety of building types in the nation's leading design firms as RTKL, Rossetti Architects and NBBJ. Currently, Kelvin is a project BIM coordinator at NBBJ and is highly involved in setting up standards and protocols for the firm's BIM implementation. Holding a B.S. in Environmental Design from the College of Architecture at the University of Houston and a B. Arch from SCI-Arc, Kelvin has a very strong design sensibility and is bringing design and technology together in the practice of architecture. Contact: ktam11@hotmail.com
