2013 Building Connections Congress

Once a year, the AIA Building Connections Congress invites key industry peers to convene and update one another on the progress and challenges in achieving interoperability during the building design, construction, and operations process.

This year, the focus was on two main topics. First, “The State of Owner BIM Standards” addressed current practices in the creation and implementation of BIM standards adopted by owner organizations. Secondly, “Looking Forward” addressed current initiatives underway to extend data interoperability to a higher degree of success.

TAP Update on BIM for Design: Latest Tools and Trends

The San Francisco Digital Design Breakfast Club is an informal group of local AEC professionals who meet once a month to discuss the use of digital technologies in design and construction, address philosophical questions posed by those technologies, and share stories about our experiences with them. Eleven members of the group compiled a report from the trenches, a mosaic of how-to’s and lessons learned on BIM and IPD. This was a rapid-fire presentation in the pecha-kecha format: each presenter has 7 minutes to speak about 20 slides for approximately 20 seconds each.
