We need more great architecture that affects people. It’s my hope to create change by opening the door to a new set of tools that haven’t perhaps been considered before, and show my viewers step-by-step how to create within these applications so they can express their creativity and hopefully get some amazing buildings and spaces built. They are all in the toolbox for their appropriate uses at the appropriate time. All of the software talks to each other, so there is no need to try to make one do something it can’t. A designer uses this tool for this task, and that tool for that task. My method involves the metaphor of tools in the toolbox. This has become dangerous to their creative endeavor. Designers get comfortable with a singular tool because they use it a lot. That in turn ends up watering down how we express our imagination. So often the tools we use limit our designs. Topics like presentation tools and techniques, layout, graphic design, hardware, and software are all open for discussion. I also talk about how technology works together with creative designers.
I provide expert, video-based training using several different 3-D design applications, including SketchUp, Bonzai3d, Revit, Cinema4d, and Artlantis as they pertain to design. I talk about tips, tricks, and workflows that empower architectural designers to do what they want most-be creative. I blog about all things digital in the field of architectural design. I’m currently teaching first and second year undergraduate Digital Design Studios and the first year graduate student Digital Design Studio at Cal Poly Pomona, as well as Intro to Revit Architecture at Mt.

Still perplexed as to when Evan finds time to sleep, we sat down to find out what amazing things he’s working on and how he fits it all into a day’s work. Working out of HMC’s Ontario, Calif., studio, Evan Troxel is a designer and mentor to others during work hours, a college professor after hours, and an instructional video blogger way after hours.
