ira recently completed a first Vectorworks training course at Western Computer in Bristol, an Apple Authorised Training Centre offering certified training for creative and IT professionals in business, education and other fields.

This course is ideal for individuals and small practices wanting to learn and improve their vector works skills, as a group course makes the learning more affordable, informative, and also acts as a good networking opportunity within the Vectorworks based deisgn community. 

The Training Centre is located in the centre of Bristol, directly opposite Temple Meads railway station. Each delegate has their own dedicated Mac to provide maximum hands on learning.  The style is informal, with emphasis on interactive learning. The trainer will be an expert with extensive industry experience. The delegate will be given many exercises to undertake. Our experience tells us that hands on is essential if the delegate is to consolidate their knowledge. Refreshments are available throughout the day and a hot lunch is also provided

jra has been pleased to contribute a chapter to the new RIBA book.

This case study focusses on the intuitive nature of communication using 3D models. To some extent we all take 3D visualisation for granted now as it is so prevalent. 

In the case study the inherent efficiencies of of producing 3D visualisation from design and construction models are discussed. The study discusses solutions that improve your internal productivity and provide the basis of high quality visualisation models as part of the process.

The Book is now available from:
