Background

About Samuel Mikhail

Since the beginning of my professional career, my passion for helping others has always guided my craft. I have worked with over 40 architecture, design, and construction firms to implement BIM technologies. During that same time, I accrued 12 years of teaching experience within the AEC industry. It was through these interactions with both architects and students that I learned valuable lessons about group dynamics, design processes and the obstacles to a full BIM utilization at a firm. As I taught professionals to transform their design ideas into delivered buildings, I developed the belief in optimizing the digital practice and formed the foundational Ideology and Methodology of 4 Ideal Design. In addition to being Managing Director of 4iD, my work as a teacher is still the core of my passion, that is evident through my role as an Adjunct Professor at The New York School of Interior Design. For the past 11 years, I have taught a variety of courses for undergrad and graduate students as well as continuing education courses for industry professionals. I teach a wide spectrum of classes that span the traditional architecture skills, such as Hand Drafting, to the key software to advancing the digital practice - Intro and Advanced Revit, Construction Documents through Revit, Sketch-up, Adobe Suite courses, 3Ds Max and Revit for Lighting Designers.
