The Critical Step Most Architects Are Missing from Their Design ProcessDavid Warfel is an overly sensitive, marginally materialistic, pseudo-tree-hugging Midwestern farm boy turned lighting designer. He’s been either lucky, talented, or wealthy enough to land design gigs from New York’s Carnegie Hall to the Las Vegas’ Luxor and MGM Grand casinos, from Chicago’s Hyde Park Arts Center and Museum of Science and Industry to residential and hospitality projects in a dozen states, and from schools and churches to multiple Royal Caribbean cruise ships. Judging from the old Honda in his driveway, it isn’t personal wealth.David finally figured out what to do with his life when he hit his 40’s and bought a foam mattress online. It was so easy to spend thousands without leaving his office that he wondered why you couldn’t get lighting design the same way, so he started Light Can Help You and his team now designs residential and hospitality projects nationwide and beyond.David’s work and writing have been featured in lots of places that no one could find without Google, like Technology Designer, Fine Homebuilding, Designing Lighting, Lighting & Sound America, Lighting Australia, Lighting Design & Application, Live Design, Theatrical Design & Technology, and on Houzz.com but he is usually reading Inspector Gamache novels or writing whatever comes into his head at his blog.This week on EntreArchitect podcast, The Critical Step Most Architects Are Missing from Their Design Process with David Warfel.Learn more about David at Light Can Help You and Language of Light, and connect with him on LinkedIn or YouTube.Please visit Our Platform SponsorsDetailed is an original podcast by ARCAT that features architects, engineers, builders, and manufacturers who share their insight and expertise as they highlight some of the most complex, interesting, and oddest building conditions that they have encountered… and the ingenuity it took to solve them.

5 Steps To a More Productive BIM ProcessChris finished his Bachelor of Architecture from University of Idaho in 1991 where his thesis was the first to be completed entirely in CAD. From there he worked as an intern for a small architecture firm working on small commercial and residential projects and assisted the company switching from hand drafting to CAD. This was followed by a couple years of concrete construction and further internship with a design build firm focusing on high-end residential as well as CAD and IT Manager. Chris then shifted out of architecture for a little over a year working as a computer hardware/software consultant. It was during this time in 1997 that he was exposed to his first "BIM" technology. This technology had by far the biggest impact on his career. In 1997, he founded Visual Motion, Inc. (now BIM6x) providing software solutions, business consulting, training, and outsourcing connections/services.Chris has been fortunate to work in a variety of positions related to architecture, construction, and technology as well as a small business owner. This experience has enabled him to work with thousands of great designers, contractors, and engineers over the past 30 years. Also, this diverse experience is very beneficial whether he is working with the principal/owner, designer, intern, or IT staff. He believes work should be fun and enjoys helping clients to “create buildings better with BIM”.This week on EntreArchitect Podcast, 5 Steps To a More Productive BIM Process with Chris Clark.Learn more about Chris at BIM6X, connect with him on LinkedIn.Please visit Our Platform SponsorsDetailed is an original podcast by ARCAT that features architects, engineers, builders, and manufacturers who share their insight and expertise as they highlight some of the most complex, interesting, and oddest building conditions that they have encountered… and the ingenuity it took to solve them.
