My theme song for 2011 is gonna be that ’70’s disco song by the Bee-Gee’s. You know, the song from the 1977 hit “Saturday Night Fever”. It goes something like, “Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk, I’m a woman’s man, no time to talk……Ah ah ah ah, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.” . Oh, if only it were 1977 again. We’d be enjoying 6.5% unemployment, celebrating the completion of the World Trade Center in New York, and wondering what in the hell this Apple computer thing

Franchise restaurants are the rise, like this new Mrs. Fields that Englewood Construction built in Orland Park Mall. As suggested in my 2011 commercial construction trends blog post, there seems to be a rise in new restaurant construction, particularly among franchise restaurants. In fact, Crain’s Chicago Business just reported that Moe’s Southwest Grill has sold restaurant franchise agreements to open 10 new units in the Chicago market.

I received a review copy of Paul's latest effort. He teamed up with three other guys, Darryl McClelland and his other brothers Larry and Darryl. Sorry couldn't resist the Bob Newhart reference (dating myself). Actually his partners were Darryl but also Gregg Stanley and Martin Schmid. I know of Martin because of his role at Autodesk. I have not had the pleasure of meeting Gregg or Darryl yet.
Last week, the New Orleans City Council voted to approve the installation of solar panels on a home in the city’s historic French Quarter. This would seem to be no-brainer for the city, which is one of America’s 20 Solar Cities and has pushed solar energy with tax credits and other programs, but it was only allowed after some controversy.
skip to main | skip to sidebar. dont think: Do Revit. My journal of work in Revit as part of a 600+ member architecture firm. Monday, January 24, 2011. Vasari Experiment. So, "everyone" (not really sure who everyone is, but I know theyre out there) "says" (at least I think so) that the Massing environment is not useful to them, because they dont do twisty curvy buildings, they only do straight boring buildings.

CAD Technology Center (CTC Products) has decided to make their tools free to Family Editors who wear authorized uniforms. Actually they didn't make that distinction but I think they should! I used that image in a slide for a Autodesk University session in 2006. It comes from the Rev'IT! site, a Dutch motocycle clothing and accessory company that has the distinction of owning Revit.com originally (and selling it to the Revit we know).

We’ve written about this opinion at length on this blog, and noted that the decision is now being reviewed by the Washington Supreme Court.
Surprisingly, building owners tend not question why their ‘cakes’ KEEP turning up misshapen, bitter and overpriced; Building-creation is an industry that is based on high level of speculation, ‘endless’ rise of property values as well as supported by propaganda machines reinforcing the idea of construction being a totally unmanageable and unpredictable beast.

Just an echo of a couple older posts at Inside the System in light of a couple recent questions I received. There are two posts, of many, that relate to the subject of my post.

BIM: Evolution or Revolution? No matter how much buzz is thrown into the arena of building creation that heralds the impending wide acceptance of BIM and IPD industry wide - I am unconvinced that it will happen in the near future. And, if it does happen – it will not be painless. Nor will be a fluffy – evolutional change. In this blog – over the time I will record my thoughts on why I believe this to be the case.
