Ed Goldberg Writes Revit Architecture 2009 Book

BALTIMORE, MD, June 4, 2008 - Revit Architecture 2009: A Comprehensive Guide, by H. Edward Goldberg, AIA, NCARB, was just released by publisher Pearson Education, a subsidiary of Prentice Hall, and an Autodesk Design Institute Press publisher.

Revit Comes of Age

Revit Architecture represents the leading edge in CAD software for architects, because it is Building Information Model (BIM) capable, technology the architectural profession is moving exponentially to adopt. As Ed states in the book’s Foreword, “I wrote this book because I believe that Revit has finally reached a level of maturity that makes it the most viable BIM, 3D modeling software program available. Concurrently with the writing of this book, I began using the program in my architectural practice. I am now a committed user…As a working professional and a trainer, I now recommend it over other products for ease of use and capability-- whether one is migrating from another software solution or learning Revit as a first endeavor.”

ITT Adopts Goldberg’s Text

This is Mr. Goldberg’s first Revit book, following on the heels of his six highly successful books on AutoCAD Architecture (formerly Architectural Desktop). Mr. Goldberg holds the distinction of being the only practicing, licensed architect, a hands-on user, and (former) college professor to author books on software programs for architects. His user friendly, tutorial format books have been embraced equally by educators and professionals.

For the past three years, Mr. Goldberg’s ADT books have been adopted as the sole teaching texts by the ITT Technical Institute, a leader in the CAD training field. ITT operates 75 locations nationwide and offers an Associate of Arts Degree in Computer Aided Design and Drafting. ITT is currently implementing a new Revit course, using the 2009 release and Mr. Goldberg’s text. ITT faculty evaluated the text pre-publication, commenting on the comprehensive scope of the work and the value of the tutorial exercises in facilitating learning.

Of, By and For Architects

Because Revit Architecture 2009 is written by a practicing architect, for architects, architectural draftsmen and students, it approaches the use of REVIT for real world application. It focuses on a work-flow methodology, covering the tools most necessary to build skills incrementally and become productive quickly. The hands-on tutorial text allows independent, self-paced learning, building skills incrementally and cumulatively. In the final chapter, “Putting It All Together”, a comprehensive building tutorial, based on a real-world project, pulls together all of the cumulative knowledge gained by completing the previous exercises. Table of Contents 1. Massing 2. Walls 3. Doors 4. Windows 5. Roofs 6. Floors 7. Stairs, Railings, and Ramps 8. Curtain Walls and Glazing 9. Dimensions, Annotations, and Grids 10. Drafting and Detail Components 11. Views 12. Components and Families 13. Site 14. Rendering 15. Putting it all Together 16. Worksharing and Worksets
