A BIM Storm, now in Los Angeles
Onuma Inc, is an architecture/services company, staffed with architects and computer engineers. Their mission is to revolutionize architecture. And they seem to be doing a good job, so far. A BIM Storm is a great idea, where some of the real potential of BIM and buildingSMART technology becomes obvious to many interested parties at the same time. Over a 24 hour period, they will on January 31st, design 30 city blocks of Los Angeles, totaling 30 million square feet.
This will all be done in real time!
What I would like to see a stronger focus on in future BIM Storms is IFD Library. Without IFD, only a little bit of the greater potential buildingSMART technology allows will be utilized. Furthermore, a BIM Storm seems to be an ideal place where you can set up a dedicated IDM/MVD team (or several), to try and capture as many IDM/MVDs as possible as basis for future standard IDM/MVDs.
So, BIM Stormers, if you are listening: Make the next BIM Storm into a stepping stone for IFD and IDM/MVD technology. Its all part of the buildingSMART vision!
Exactly! I agree.
This was step one to get the players comfortable with the process change. IFC, IDM, MVD are all part of this. I invite others to join in this effort.
We went over on our estimate and hit 50 city blocks and 55 million square feet.
Thanks
