Port Elizabeth students master Autodesk Revit in only two months
See the top entries in a Autodesk Revit design competition held during the past year for senior students at the University of Port Elizabeth and Port Elizabeth Techikon.  Entrants were judged on innovation, design excellence and technical expertise.  Winner, Pieter Louw’s project, was described as a fine architectural solution and he was commended on the logical development and depth of his design. Pieter used an existing 2D Autocad drawing and traced it to become a full working model in Autodesk Revit in only 2 evenings. Pieter mentioned that ‘if he still had to use a drawing board he wouldn’t want to study architecture’. Pieter views technology as an integral part of the architectural industry today.
