Revit Architecture has revolutionized how architects design,
develop, and deliver projects—and now you can join the revolution
with this expert guide.
Authored by a team of Revit aficionados and experts, this in-depth
book uses clear explanations, detailed tutorials, and practical
examples to show you how to best implement Revit in the real world.
Starting with a focused look at the basics of Revit and Building
Information Modeling (BIM), you’ll move quickly into setting up and
customizing your Revit tools, preparing your office/project
templates and settings, creating your library of components, and
much more.

About The Authors:
Tatjana Dzambazova was the product manager for Revit
Architecture in Autodesk for the last two years and has recently
moved into a new position where she explores emerging technologies,
immersive experiences, and the impact of the Web 2.0 on our
lifestyles. Before joining Autodesk in 2000, she practiced
architecture for 12 years in Vienna and London. At Autodesk, she has
focused on evangelizing technology and established herself as an
internationally renowned speaker who has fostered relationships with
architects and industry leaders around the globe. Powered with
seemingly unlimited resources of energy, Tanja manages to make three
days out of one, and when she is not working (is that ever?) or
coauthoring technology books, she is advocating wildlife
conservation and sustainability, reading books like a maniac, and
getting inspired at the theater. If you’re lucky enough to be in the
Bay Area, you might catch a glimpse of Tanja cruising the streets on
her Ducati Monster.
Greg Demchak is a designer, technology advocate, urban
explorer, and post-apocalyptic webisode producer. He holds
architectural degrees from the University of Oregon and
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is a product designer for
Revit Architecture and has been working with Revit since the year
2000 (Release 2.0, if anyone’s counting). He has been teaching Revit
and BIM technology at the Boston Architectural College since 2003.
He currently lives in Massachusetts.
Eddy Krygiel is a registered architect, a LEED Accredited
Professional, and an Autodesk Authorized Author at BNIM Architects.
He has been using Revit since version 5.1 to complete projects
ranging from single-family residences to office buildings as large
as 1.12 million square feet. Eddy is responsible for implementing
BIM at his firm and consults for other architecture and contracting
firms looking to implement BIM. For the last three years, he has
been teaching Revit to practicing architects and architectural
students in the Kansas City area and has lectured around the nation
on the use of BIM in the construction industry. Eddy also coauthored
a paper on sustainability and BIM that was presented at the 2006 AIA
Technology in Architectural Practice conference.
