Book signings

On May 15 and 16 authors Sarah Susanka and Finith Jernigan will sign copies of their latest books, which will be available for purchase. Susanka’s The Not So Big House: A blueprint for the way we live brings to light a new way of thinking about what makes a place feel like home, including characteristics that people desire in their homes and lives, but haven’t known how to verbalize.

Jernigan’s BIG BIM, little bim cuts through the hype to provide clarity about integrated practice and BIM. Based on 20 years of successful projects, the book shows how to leverage resources, compete in a worldwide market, and become more efficient and productive in the planning, design, construction and operation of facilities.

Rounding out Graphisoft’s conference calendar is a presentation titled “BIM: We did it, so can you” by Irwin Pancake Architects Charles Goodman, AIA, and Melisa Pense, AIA. This AIA CES presentation takes place May 15, 2008 at 6:00 pm.
