It's been a long day, driving down to San Diego attending the first day of the forum and then driving back home! So I'll just mention three things for now.
Scenario Virtual Project Delivery - If you haven't seen this at all yet, check it out.
Dupont Design Studio - I heard about this, maybe a year ago? It was discussed today along with three others I'll get to in another post when I have more time.
Virtual Mockups - Not a link but a theme, nearly every presentation had examples of how virtual mockups of design information had helped the construction process. If it isn't part of your process now it probably will soon or should be.

Dept. of Events - AIA/LA TAP at USC
Changed Date!
Event: AIA/LA Technology in Architecture Practice (TAP)When: November 5, 2010
Time: 6-8 PM
Where: USC - Wong Conference Center in Harris Hall 101
Admission: Free to AIA members, $10 General Public
Continuing Education Credit (CEU): 1.5
Subjects: Tiger by the Tail - Small firm strategies in BIM Adoption
Presenters:
- Tom Morales, Assoc. AIA, LEED AP (Outsource model) Adjunct Professor, Cerritos College & BIM Consultant
- Shobhit Baadkar (Collaborative model) - Principal, Titan AEC
- Cliff S. Moser, MSQA, AIA, LEED AP (Partnering model) - VP Operations and Healthcare Practice, CADFORCE Inc.
This session will involve an interactive discussion about streamlining the adoption of the BIM model in small architectural practices. It will cover the ways of collaborating and working with BIM providers and colleagues in order to ramp up quickly and effectively in providing professional services. Why do small firms have an advantage in using outside sources for the BIM process? Because they can easily tailor their work flow to the different process that BIM demands, having only a small investment in digital, hardware and communication overhead or in tech personnel. This is a strategic advantage because in order to truly take advantage of BIM there must be a complete overhaul of the traditional work flow process.
You can register by clicking HERE. Admission is FREE to AIA Members and $10 for General Admission.

BIM Analytics @ USC on August 4th, 2010
Karen Kensek with USC sent the following information to me to get the word out.
BIM ANALYTICS: - August 4th, 2010 - FREE
BIM isn’t BIM without Information. For decades, faculty, researchers, and software companies have been developing software tools that are intended predict the performance of a building, for example, energy consumption, day lighting, cost, code compliance, structural analysis, etc. These tools have typically been stand-alone tools that provide a specific analytical capability. The range and depth of these tools has been astonishing, and yet lamentably many of these tools have not been significantly integrated into the design processes of professionals. BIM is a promising technology to encourage improved integration of design analysis into the building model. For the Fourth Annual BIM + Symposium, we will explore the nature of analytical modeling in architecture, engineering, and construction. We will seek opportunities for a more responsive integration of the evidence/simulation based design decision-making. We will have speakers who have integrated simulation and BIM in their design process, a forward looking section on BIM parametrics, and informative presentations on interoperability and standards. More information including a list of speakers and registration information will be available on the web site.
Please reserve your spot soon; BIM CON!FAB filled up last year. Keep checking back on the website as additional information will be updated there.
http://arch-pubs.usc.edu/bim-analytics/
Current list of confirmed speakers:
Architecture and Engineering
Rachelle Villalon, Jenna Knudsen, and Alex Korter, CO Architects
Erin McConahey + team, ARUP
Mitch Dec, David Summers, Tianxin Xing, Glumac, “Rapid Energy Modeling”
Construction
Jim Bedrick, Webcor
Viktor Bullain, Turner Construction, "BIM Execution Plan for Successful Model-based Analysis"
Jonathan Widney, Solibri and Darren Roos, Suffolk Construction Company, "Mining the Model – Analysis of the Model Information, not just the Geometry"
Parametrics / Performance Based or Algorithmic Design
Nathan Miller, NBBJ, "Feedback Cloud: Tactics for Toolset Integration and Design Optimization"
Kurt Komraus, Buro Happold
Integration, Standards, the Big Picture
Richard Nowicki, NTD Architecture and Lance Lareau, San Diego CCD, no title yet
Michael Rendler, LACCD, “BIM /GIS The WHOLE Picture. LACCD e7 System”
Chuck Good-Man, Irwin Partners Architects

USC Architecture Event - August 2-3, 2010
This event was sent to me by Karen Kensek with USC to share with readers to get the word out.
EXECUTIVE EDUCATION:
August 2-3, 2010
This year, we have launched five course offerings centered on the theme of Los Angeles as a 21st century model of critical urbanism, creativity, and culture. These courses will explore a set of strategically themed topics, connecting over a dozen of the most forward thinking global practitioners, politicians, and urban theorists today with our own faculty. One of the two-day sessions is themed around building information modeling (BIM). This is a unique opportunity to interact in a small group (30 maximum attendees) with leaders in the profession, in a session focusing on dialogue and debate. Please visit the website for further information about this unique event, its distinguished speakers, and registration information. As only a very limited number of spaces are available, please enroll soon.
Keep checking back on the website as additional information will be updated there.
