Michael J. Schroeder is a Lecturer in Architecture and is teaching Building Information Models. He was a teaching fellow for the Advanced Digital Media courses and Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing at the Harvard Design School where he was awarded the Snyder Prize for "Innovation in Fabrication and Design" for his research and development of a compound curve prototyping system. Schroeder has practiced and built projects in the US and Italy, and was recently published in Progettare. While lead researcher for the Center for Design Informatics at Harvard, Schroeder collaborated to develop a digital reconstruction of the Duomo, Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence Italy and 3D stereo digital interactive interfaces for visualizing the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao Spain. His background as a senior software engineer for Macromedia Inc. (now Adobe Systems Incorporated) and as co-founder of process based Internet solution companies servicing the AECO industry in the US and northern Europe, Schroeder's interests are found to blend the boundary between architectural design processes, computer programming, construction, and visualization. Schroeder is currently President and CEO of BIM Jet, Inc. and co-chairs the Boston Society of Architects Building Information Modeling round-table. Schroeder holds a Bachelor of Architecture from Montana State University and a Master in Design Studies with distinction from the Harvard Design School.
