* delivered lecture at the following conferences:
TFM Show 2007 (Today’s Facility Manager’s), Chicago
AIA Design DC 2007, Washington, DC
IFMA World Workplace Conference 2007, New Orleans
* CEU’s were awarded to lecture attendees.
* Presented & developed educational lecture on the impact BIM is having on the design process & execution of architecture, with Lewis Goetz, firm owner.

 

The purpose of our presentation and speach was to educate industry professionals about what BIM is and the evolutionary effect BIM is having on how we design, construct, and manage buildings. Armed with BIM, the design team is able to more efficiently produce coordinated construction drawings leaving more time avaiable for design. Additionally, the growing database of information enables the design team to quantify design decisions on the fly. With manual & CAD drafting architects are drafting 2d drawings in order create 3d space, with BIM the architect is now creating a virtual 3d model of the building in order to derive 2d construction drawings.

These points were made by the use of case studies from our firm’s BIM implementation process. My main role during the presentation was to speak about the more technical features & issues and about the lessons learned through this implentation process.

Award: AIA BIM Award: Analysis & Simulation Category – 2006, AIA National Chapter

* Led development & implementation of BIM system & standards for project & firm.
* Led production of award submission & supporting graphics.
* Accepted award with co-developers at the AIA National Convention 2006.
* Collaborated with Autodesk for the GSA 4d BIM pilot program.

We decided to utilize BIM on this project in order to maximize our ablility to efficiently analyze the complex blocking & stacking and 4d construction phasing of the 1.8 million sqft of office space. In addition we created a comprehensive model of the existing building in order to seamlessly integrate new systems into the historic structure.
