Day 4 – Casual Friday

LS3P has a really cool work week where they work 9 hours a day Monday through Thursday, and then finish at noon on Fridays to jumpstart the weekend. They also have casual Fridays so I was able to where more comfortable attire. This shortened day was really cool because I got to use Autodesk Revit for the first time. This is the computer software where LS3P and most architecture firms do all their designing. The program allows you to make everything three dimensional, which is key to help the client visualize the plans. Experienced architects are able to look at two dimensional plans and still visualize what those mean as a three dimensional building, but most clients cannot do that. With Revit, a client can even virtually walk around the space and see it in its 3D form from any angle. I used tutorials to familiarize myself with the program, and then designed a stool. The designs that companies like LS3P make are so intricate that the little things like the stools are even designed in Revit.
