About the Author
David Ross Scheer received his Master of Architecture degree from Yale University in 1984. He brings a broad background in practice, teaching and research to his thinking about the effects of digital technologies on architecture. He has taught architectural design, history and theory at several schools of architecture around the U.S. and has lectured and written extensively on building information modeling (BIM). He has explored the uses of BIM and other digital technologies in his practice for nearly twenty years. As a longstanding member of the advisory group of the AIA Technology in Architectural Practice Knowledge Community (and its Chair in 2012), Mr. Scheer has gained a broad awareness of the evolving uses and effects of BIM and computation throughout the building industry.
