Harnessing BIM Technology and Integrated Project Delivery for Sustainable Design
Shame on the AIA?
There are underlying themes in all the sessions to date: get involved-get everyone on the project involved in BIM. I think we all know by now that to push BIM to it’s limits requires the involvement of everyone: owners, project managers, construction managers, engineers, interior designers, etc…
I was conversing with a fellow Change the World attendee and he openly laid it all out. Why is it that this conference has mostly architects? He asks, and then answers- Yes, it is the American Institute of Architects, but if we are supposed to work in synergy with everyone else, then where are the owners? He goes on to say- shame on the AIA for not getting more owners here.
Sitting in the opening plenary this morning- a show of hands in the large packed room produced this result
2 owners
3-6 CM's
and the rest-architects.

- Don't forget there is the EcoBim Conference, CURT, GreenBuild etc. all supporting "integration" but all hosting silo'd conferences. How do we go toward an "open source" approach?

There are 4 owners in my final session of the day-Stitching BIM software into a Business Strategy.
