About the Class
Wikipedia defines “Master Class” as: a class given to students of a particular discipline by an expert of that discipline, usually music, but also painting, drama, or any of the arts. Take your ArchiCAD skills to the limits under the tutelage of ArchiMeister Rex Maximilian and learn to “play” ArchiCAD like a fine instrument to help you better perform the “noble craft” of architecture.
Intended for users of intermediate and higher skill levels, Rex will help you ‘plug the holes’ in your knowledge and help you glean the maximum productivity out of ArchiCAD in ways you never thought possible. You will learn best practices and optimum methodologies that Rex has developed from years of pushing ArchiCAD to its limits on real projects.
There will also be ample time for questions you bring to the table related to your practice. The material will be presented in a lecture/demonstration format and will not be hands-on in order to keep it fast-paced and to cover lots of ground.
Once you apply this knowledge, perhaps one day you too will be an ArchiMeister.
