MASTERCLASS DESCRIPTION

There is a large deficit in reliable and affordable programs to facilitate the business of architecture in South Africa. This Masterclass seeks to train design professionals on how to use open source and free 2D and 3D software alternatives as well as the workflows  associated with taking projects through all 6 building stages.

This Masterclass is practical and can easily be introduced to any size practice from  small firms who want to move from  2d documentation to a 3d / Building Information Modelling (BIM) workflow and well as large practices with multiple users wanting to streamline workflows without incurring a huge fiscal cost to transition
