James Redus

I am James Redus. I am an Architectural Engineering Junior, I have had two co-ops: The Philadelphia Streets Department Bridge Section and Elton & Thompson, a small structural firm in Glenside. I am originally from Massachusetts.

“Intelligent Buildings” describes a class of building (or structure) that readily adapts to optimize the space for the occupants. Clearly the easiest way to achieve this is with a computer (or network or computers). The building industry calls such a system a “BIM” system (for Building Information Modeling).

In this class I expect to learn about the databases that go into the different BIM systems. I think this would be both interesting and helpful to my career.
