Nemetschek Vectorworks, Inc., has announced a new webinar series titled “Art in Architecture.” The series starts tomorrow actually and focuses on three talks (webinars) led by Steve Alden AIA.
Each webinar will focus on architects who challenged convention to create new and unexpected solutions, as well as explore how today’s visionaries connect with the past to design artistic projects that are responsive to people and their context.
“Architects throughout history have utilized their creativity to produce pioneering designs, pulling inspiration from everyday objects, abstract concepts and even each other,” says Steve Alden, AIA, architect at Nemetschek Vectorworks and series presenter. “We’re excited to announce this webinar series and share how today’s most expressive designers are influenced by the visionary minds of the past and how they use technology to enable imaginative designs that transform the world.”
