LEARN. DESIGN. VISUALIZE. BUILD. EDUCATE.
My name is Brian D. Nickel. I am a graduate of Montana State University’s Graduate School of Architecture. I have been an educator for five years at Gallatin College & Montana State University’s College of Engineering in Bozeman, Montana. I have taught in person & now remotely from Boise, Idaho for several years through Microsoft Teams. We leverage VR technology to assist remote learning with Autodesk products. I am passionate and energetic about the use of AEC Technology and educating our future emerging AEC workforce. I have attended several national conferences where I have been a speaker, advocate, and collaborator with our industry. One of my core design principles is a belief that design must have an impact through immense collaboration with the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. The industry can be more successful by working through the design together and breaking free from individual silos through multi-discipline collaboration. I have completed my NCARB Architectural Experience Program Requirements and have begun studying for licensure. A quote that has defined my career path and that I reflect on every day from Jack Smith, FAIA, my thesis advisor at Montana State University’s Graduate School of Architecture. “Don’t become a tool to the tool.”
