About the Author
Stefan Boeykens is an architect-engineer from Leuven, Belgium. After graduation,
he was involved in architectural practice for about 4 years, before returning in 2007 to
KU Leuven for his PhD on the integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in
the design process. He worked on a variety of research and education projects, ranging
from CAD and BIM, to metadata for architectural archives and cost simulations. His
main research interests are BIM 3D modeling, and visualization, digital historical
reconstruction, parametric design, programming, and interoperability between a
variety of software tools, with a special focus on open BIM.
He is quite literate with software in general, with extensive expertise on ArchiCAD,
AutoCAD, SketchUp, Rhinoceros, Excel, Solibri, Processing, CINEMA 4D, Ableton
Live, Photoshop, Illustrator, CorelDRAW, Artlantis, and Unity. He likes cross-platform
approaches, even more since switching to OS X. Hard disks are always too small
for him.
Stefan Boeykens is currently employed by the Department of Architecture at
the Faculty of Engineering Sciences at KU Leuven, Belgium. As a teacher, he
is responsible for the Architectural Computing courses and teaches students
how to use AutoCAD, SketchUp, ArchiCAD, Solibri, CINEMA 4D, Rhinoceros,
Grasshopper, and Unity.
He is the author of the
CAD-3D.blogspot.com blog, which discusses CAD, 3D,
and BIM, with a particular interest in free and educational software for architects
and interoperability.
