Creative Architectural Design & Modeling in Revit
A course by BIM it , Architecture Collective
Transform your architectural ideas into a reality by developing a detailed concept for a building with multiple facade options in Revit
To stand out as an architect in today’s competitive market, you need not only a passion for design and an inspired creative vision, but also a firm handle on the leading software in the architectural modeling industry. Nataliya Tokmacheva and Paula Cabral—architects specialized in Building Information Modeling (BIM) and founders of the architecture collective BIM it—stand by this philosophy, harnessing the power of Autodesk Revit to model their designs efficiently and flexibly. Their artistic yet technological approach has garnered attention from top architectural design firms like Chapman Taylor, leading to collaborations on large-scale projects worldwide.
In this online course, learn to use Revit to model a building in concept stage, representing different facade options in sleek, modern, and realistic visualizations capable of winning over even the most demanding client.
For a full run-through of Revit’s essential tools, take a look at Nataliya’s and Paula’s Domestika Basics, Autodesk Revit for Beginners, and learn to use this must-have tool from the ground up.

BIM it
A course by BIM it
Paula Cabral and Nataliya Tokmacheva are two Barcelona-based architects, and together, they form BIM it. Their work consists of developing big-scale projects entirely in Autodesk Revit, hand in hand with other BIM managers and architects within internationally renowned architectural practices such as Chapman Taylor, Intercon, and Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura (RBTA).
In the last several years, they have successfully delivered around a dozen large-scale projects, including shopping centers and other complexes, in many different countries such as Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine, among others.
