Hi Fotios, during my research I didn't find anything about the ventilation system and even after a check on Herzog & de Meuron's website, there is nothing about ventilation.

Hi Kinsey, not every product has BIM/CAD files, so first you have to make sure the product you are looking at has Revit files available. The easiest way to find products with the right files is to do a search and then use the 'Formats' filter to tick the relevant file formats. You can search for a particular product or even do a blank search...

Hi Sivan, It depends on which device you are using, you can try right-clicking the file and looking for the 'unzip' option. Some devices even let you just double-click it. If those two don't work, try Googling 'unzip on (device)'. I hope that works! 2 More Answers

Software does not make one a good, or even moderately competent architect. It's just a tool like any other and unless you have real-world experience running BIM projects, your skill level and experience can't be worth much. Best to seek entry into large, even multidisciplinary, offices that utilize all the good stuff BIM has to offer. 1 More Answer

What the best green roof pro

Bobby, Architect • 2015

I'm designing a new residential project in california, and want to have a green roof on top of it.I'm having trouble finding information and feedback, on which product(s) are best and won't leak over time (obviously me and my client's biggest fair).

Carrie, Architect

There are a variety of green roofing products available with varied prices, ranging from reclaimed wood shingles to plastic ones so the best products would depend on the design and location of the house. Try GAF http://www.gaf.com/Roofing/Residential/Products/Shingles/Timberline if it suits your need and budget.
