What we’re about
Welcome to the Chicago Dynamo Community, affectionately known as ChiNamo! We're a vibrant group of Dynamo enthusiasts based in the Chicago area, united by our passion for enhancing building information modeling. Dynamo, in its essence, revolutionizes BIM by melding it with the dynamic data and logic of a graphical algorithm editor. It's the bridge that connects Revit and other BIM tools with a powerful scripting environment, opening a world of possibilities.
Our gatherings, held several times a year, are the heartbeat of our community. Each meeting is an opportunity to dive into the world of Dynamo, featuring insightful presentations from guest speakers and practical, hands-on sessions to sharpen your Dynamo skills. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just dipping your toes into Revit, Dynamo, computational design, or BIM, ChiNamo is your gateway to explore, learn, and connect.
As a member of the Autodesk Group Network, and the AIA-Chicago Technology in Architectural Practice (TAP) Knowledge Community, ChiNamo stands alongside a global collective dedicated to sharing knowledge and fostering collaboration across industries. We're not just about enhancing our skills; we're part of a larger movement to harness design technology for a better world.

ChiNamo Live: Architects in the Browser with Motif & Dynamo
SNHA, Woolpert, 130 E Randolph St #3100, Chicago, IL, USJoin Lilli Smith, AIA. Product Manager at Motif, and former Product Manager of Dynamo, for an interactive evening, exploring the future of architectural collaboration over food and drinks.
What to expect: Food, beverages, and conversation about how technology is changing the way we work.
We'll explore how browser-based tools are making design collaboration more seamless—from live-streaming model updates to real-time feedback and AI-powered visualization. We'll also dive into Motif's Dynamo tools and how computational design workflows are becoming more integrated and accessible for teams.
Whether you're deep in Revit and Rhino workflows or exploring new ways to bridge BIM and computational design, come see what's possible with tools built for how architects actually work.
This is a chance to connect with fellow ChiNamo members, see some cool technology in action, and talk about where architectural practice is headed.
Please include your full name when you RSVP for entry. Can’t make it in person? We’ll also be hosting a virtual session, join us online here: [link].6 attendees
