for which university?

like a building? masterpiece is a big word that architects avoid. the saying is, ur work will only can be considered as a masterpiece AFTER you die lol. and even so, there's no guarantee it's THAT good haha.

lol did u come up with that?

yes.

Hi guys, I'm not studying architecture, but Environmental Science/Engineering. I'm looking for a good place (online/book?) to learn more about energy-efficient architecture to complement my curiosity.

no idea. we are so far away from implementing it at large scale. at the moment, only the big players use BIM. but even so, the other consultants, particularly QS and engineering have yet to embrace it. so currently it's being driven primarily by developers, and young architects (who learned BIM in school).

BIM - Building Information Modelling.
hope the video explain...

with BIM, everything is handled digitally. in fact, before the dwg is submitted to the engineers, the software can tell u that u need 6 columns rather than 4. it can tell u long before the QS looked at the dwgs that the building will cost RM20mil. in fact, it could tell u it'll cost RM19,899.53 to the very brick.

Sketchup can produce nice visualizations, but with revit u can do a presentation style AND working drawing in a matter of clicks!

Yes, a few during my student days. Ive only won once though, in 1999.

Nowadays i supervise my students into competitions. Most professional design competitions have higher requirements (must be practicing, must be built, must pay fees etc), while students competitions are generally free.

i dont understand. can u elaborate?
