BIM Handbook, A Guide to Building Information Modeling for Owners, Managers, Designers, Engineers and Contractors by Chuck Eastman, Paul Teicholtz, Rafael Sacks and Kathleen Liston recently published by Wiley with a forward by Jerry Laiserin is the first scholarly text of its kind for building information modeling. It covers the subject well and provides a lot of good insight as to what tools are available and what is possible today with the tools. It also takes a glimpse into the future of where this whole effort is headed. This is a fast moving target and it will also be fun to look back at this book in ten years as the baseline of what it looked like in 2008

With my work as Executive Direector of the buildingSMART alliance, I come across many interesting events - this, I believe, is something of extreme interest that you may want to participate in. Once it is complete, let's spend some time discussing the impact on the industrey as a whole.
BIMstorm™ Los Angeles | 31 January 2008
BIMStorm LAX was a simple concept in December 2007, and is becoming a “Woodstock” for the building industry. BIMStorm LAX is a free event that will involve a wide cross section of building industry professionals to design over 30 Los Angeles city blocks encompassing 30 million square feet in real-time.

I am also involved in the development of buildingSMART as I am on a task force with several IAI and NIBS BOD members working out a charter, business plan and funding strategy. Our goal is to accelerate the implementation of building information models and building information modeling. The focus of course is on information and we are lookng way beyond 3D visualization to essentially building a building virtually before physically. Working out as many problems as possible electronically. I am interested in hearing the stage everyone is at in implementing BIM and what we can do to help. I know education is a huge issue both at the university level and continuing education for the practitioner. Let me know what yo ...
