- CFCharmaine FergusonBorn in Geelong Australia, Charmaine has been traveling the world and has landed in Denmark where she studied to become a Constructing Architect. While studying she was introduced to the process of BIM during her practical placement at one of Denmark's number one architectural firms, Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects. Charmaine was involved in big international BIM projects where she fell in love with the process of BIM and took it into her own hand to help introduce it to her university. After graduating in 2012, she was then hired at her university to help implement BIM as well as begin to teach both the architect and engineering educations the Building Design Suite. Charmaine has a strong passion for 'modernizing' the current curriculum so that the digitalized generation of students now entering the educational system will be exposed to the technological and process changes that are occurring in the 'real world'
