- Mastering Revit Architecture Project Gallery
This gallery comes from architects from all around the globe who have embraced the move to a smarter way of working on projects. They all have different skill levels with Revit, but what ties them together is that they have produced beautiful architectural examples using BIM.
BIM is not a myth. These are real architects, real projects, and real sources of inspiration. And don't forget, it's technology, it's digital—but still, what really matters is that it's good architecture.
