"I have the scholarship on my portfolio and my resume and I wear it as a badge of honor. I am very proud of the award and it confirms my work ethic, overall abilities, and reinforces where I've come from. I look at the scholarship as a huge stepping stone to where I am now and without it, I may not be where I am today."

3D Animations using BIM and LiDAR Technology
Building Information Management or BIM involves the use of three-dimensional software in order to design and communicate the design of our projects. As we commence the design at ARFAi, we begin with creating a virtual environment for the project based on the existing site. Since the 1950s, firms utilizing airplanes have been gathering geographic information using LiDAR technology. These digital maps are now readily available to be purchased and they are used as the base for our virtual sites.

Metamorphosis - The Creation of Fairmont Commons
For nearly 30 years the “Blue Block Building”, has been a sadly recognizable visage within the Lethbridge, Alberta cityscape. The structure was initially designed to be a warehouse and has served as such, undergoing little change besides the paint color. This was particularly unfortunate considering the buildings' prime location on one of the city’s busiest intersections. Located on the corner of Mayor Magrath Dr. S, the city’s main commercial artery, and Fairmont Boulevard S, the building was waiting for a new lease on life.
Work is Progressing at Kingsland Junction in Calgary!
The Trico Kingsland Junction project along Macleod Trail in Calgary, Alberta is progressing nicely with the concrete work almost completed on the second building. As shown, the buildings along the Macleod Trail frontage are designed to create a buffer for the new enlarged community park proposed to go behind Building Two, protecting it from the noise and activity from the everyday traffic.
The photos were taken by Jason Paul Sailer, who is an senior architectural technologist at Alvin Reinhard Fritz Architect, and also is assisting with the construction drawings for this exciting project!
