The Fallacy of Design Intent – An Awesome BIM Presentation

So this is my month of travel. I’ve so far driven from Minnesota through South Dakota to Wyoming. I’m now in southern Colorado; tomorrow night my wife, kids, and I will sleep somewhere in the northeast corner of New Mexico. After that we have a week or so in Texas before flying to Connecticut and finally driving on to Massachusetts…

While I’m all over the map, I don’t want to leave you content-less.

If you’re looking for a great BIM presentation, check out this video of Christof Spieler giving a talk at a BIMForum event. Not familiar with BIMForum? Here’s a quick explanation:

The BIMForum’s mission is to facilitate and accelerate the adoption of building information modeling (BIM) in the AEC industry. We will lead by example and synchronize with counterparts in all sectors of the industry to jointly develop best practice for virtual design and construction (VDC). We will share our experiences and execute our goals via online forums, highly useful deliverables and practical industry conferences. We will revolutionize the building industry.

I met Christof a few times while I was at Rice University, though he graduated before I arrived. We both had a close relationship with my favorite (and I’d bet his favorite) teacher, Pat Moore (I can’t believe I’ve only written about Pat once). I vaguely recall my wife knowing Christof better than I did, since they both studied Structural Engineering at Rice. All that is just a tangent to this: Christof is one smart guy and has an amazing perspective on the world of BIM.

Are you ready to watch this BIM Presentation? The Fallacy of Design Intent

So during my month of travel and relocation, find 45-minutes to watch and listen to Christof talk about BIM and Design Intent. As Randy Deutsch said in the tweet that tipped me off to this presentation “Best BIM Presentation Ever?” It just might be. What do you think?

June and early July might be light on content, but we’ll make up for that in August and Beyond. Make sure to follow Shoegnome on Facebook and Twitter. If you’re not a social media person, RSS feed is also a great way to never miss anything either. Finally, regardless of what month you’re reading this post, I’m always looking for guest bloggers.

    Pity that is a silverlight presentation and cannot be downloaded. Also BIMforum it is strange that they do not recognize architects as people interested in BIM.
