I am a Senior Lecturer II at the University of Massachusetts in the Building and Construction Technology program where I teach courses on BIM/CAD, materials and methods, and wood properties.
I am also the author of various books: "Mass Timber: Materials, Design, and Construction", which covers all aspects of this sustainable building technology. “Architectural Design with SketchUp”, which provides a broad overview of techniques to “do more” with the popular 3D modeling software Trimble SketchUp. And “Fundamentals of Residential Construction”, which provides a complete overview of the materials and methods used in single- and multi-family residential construction.
On YouTube I post videos about the many facets of SketchUp and other BIM software. You can also find my various construction-focused videos here.
Follow this channel if you want to hear more about these topics.

To my readers, viewers, friends and colleagues:
I wish you and your loved ones a peaceful and joyous holiday season, Merry Christmas (to those that celebrate it), and a healthy, happy, and successful New Year 2024! And just to reiterate what I said in last year’s post: A little bit more peace on earth would also go a long way!
As usual, I made this video “card” completely in SketchUp. Want to see how I did this? I’ll post a tutorial soon to sketchupfordesign.com and my YouTube channel.
Cheers,
Alex
