Revit Icon Madness

JO-D-140320-RevitIconMadness-01_590pix

Despite of the title., I love Revit. For an architect is the door to BIM world but something is like riding a tiger… beautiful, powerful but you have to take care of his jaw!.

In my regular work I usually look under it’s skin (talking about the API) and amazes how complex and deep it can be. And I think that showing all the icons inside Revit could be a good way to visualize it.

So I extracted 388 icons of Revit 2014 and spread over “revit” name in order to create this illustration. Click to get a high resolution of it!. By the way Revit is registered trademarks of Autodesk, Inc. Hey AU, it’s just a tribute!

I will come back soon with BIM acronyms.

Hay veces que uno no sabe muy bien como dar el enfoque adecuado a una ilustraciĂłn. Tan solo quieres hacer algo, no dejarlo pasar, no perder la oportunidad de dar las gracias…

Pero como plasmar lo que has recibido, esa sensaciĂłn de la perfecciĂłn, los matices, el sabor de tu tierra… es imposible…

Tengo decenas de cosas a medio terminar que se perderán en el olvido. Pero esta vez no. Aunque no tenga tiempo, aunque estoy cansado y haya sueño… tengo que hacer algo… incluso aunque todo salga mal.

Hasta siempre maestro!

  • 2014 Crisis Calendar (fixed)

    JO-D-131108-2014CrisisCalendar_black_590pix

    My latest calendar design, Crisis Calendar, a calendar of time we live in.

    Despite its appearance it’s a perfectly functional calendar. If you need some clues of how it works I could tell you months are columns and the first day of week is Monday.

    With this design I want to emphasize not only its simplicity, there is no indication of the day number, or the month, or even the year we are in, but also its symbolic using simple scratches on wall as unique element of representation… like the count of someone trapped somewhere.

    Not a easy read calendar, it is almost hidden, in the sight of all but somehow occult… it will be our secret.

    Hopefully it will be some kind of countdown to this crisis don’t want to leave us.

    Dedicated to Eduardo Blanco… the RevitMan! Hey guy you’ll love this one!!

    There is also a white background version.
