What is BIMStorm?
|
Planning, designing, constructing, and operating facilities require massive amounts of data shared across numerous teams of people. After construction, the need to manage facility data can last for years.
The complexity gets compounded for multiple buildings or portfolios of facilities. Whether it is creating the building or managing it, data is at the center of creating an efficient, accurate, cost-effective strategy for execution. BIMStorms provide temporary use of data and apps for the design, urban planning, and architectural fields to communicate with one another in real time.

The Building and Design industry has not kept pace with all the modern ways of accessing and sharing data. In the instant world of searching for information, ordering from a virtual superstore, or getting turn by turn directions on your phone while driving, the building industry still operates in a document-centric way even with BIM. The current state of the building industry is the equivalent of early telephone operators looking up printed information on paper, hand plugging wires and jacks and manually overseeing each step of a telephone operator to execute a long distance call.

BIMStorms bring the industry a step closer to the modern Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Twitter age. Behind the scenes, driving much of the advanced functionalities we see in these modern technologies is something called “web services.” It is not essential for people to have a technical understanding of web services to participate in BIMStorms (although if you are a developer, we can provide more technical information). As an owner, architect, engineer, or app developer, join the BIMStorm to see how.

Swarming in the Cloud Since 2007
The concept of a BIMStorm is straightforward. Assemble an international team of owners, architects, engineers, facility managers, and others to brainstorm on a specific architecturally themed problem using BIM and other technologies. Once the charrette/workshop is complete, the team can quickly disband as quickly as it formed. Using the power of the web, this is all possible without the need to board airplanes or reserve large office spaces to collaborate in the same room or around the world.
