It's that time of year again and Karen Kensek & the entire USC BIM team are at it once (or should I say 3 times) more... See the following & as always hit the images for links to the site(s)... And I will see you at the BIMposium!!!
This summer, the USC School of Architecture is offering THREE EVENTS that you might be interested in: the (almost free) annual BIM symposium EXTREME BIM 2011, the Façade Tectonics conference, and a series of Executive Education seminars including one on BIM.
Please take the time to email if you are seriously interested in the current and future state of the profession.
Thank you for your time!
Thank you for your time!
1) 5th Annual BIM Symposium: Extreme BIM (almost free) - the most exciting event of the year!
Friday, July 8th. Register on the website. Please reserve your spot soon; BIM Analytics filled up last year.
EXTREME BIM: Friday, July 8th, 8:15 am - 4:15 pm (very, very small fee of $25
Keep checking back on the website as additional information will be updated there including the final schedule including the times of the individual talks. YOU MUST REGISTER FOR THE SYMPOSIUM ON THE WEBSITE.
The speakers for EXTREME BIM 2011 were instructed to give presentations that advance the idea of building information modeling, show things that most of the audience may not be aware of, and demonstrate that BIM is cool and cutting edge! We have put together a slate of speakers that includes representatives from architecture, engineering, construction, education, and owners. Explore a side of BIM that you have not seen before!

The Graduate Building Science program at USC holds facade conferences two times each year. The summer 2011 program builds on the highly successful and widely acclaimed Fall 2010 conference. 29 speakers. Examples topics at this conference include: Double Skin Facades, Parametrics and Facades, Facades and Seismic Motion, Structural Glass facades, Building Façade Retrofit, Dynamic Skins, Computational Methods for Façade Design, Daylighting and Glare, Analytical Computing Tools, and lots more.3) Executive Education (more BIM and façade seminars) - http://execed.uscarchitecture.com/
Make your BIM experience a double header with both Exec Ed and Extreme BIM!
2011 USC Architecture Summer Executive Education Program (not free) http://execed.uscarchitecture.com/program/bim-101/
Extreme BIM (Friday, July 8th) includes many shorter presentations in a lecture hall format. If you prefer small, seminar classes that focus more deeply on just a few topics, consider taking one of the School of Architecture, Executive Education Seminars. The courses are designed to be intimate in size with only 15-20 students in each class. This is the opportunity to interactively discuss the role of BIM in the profession with other architects.
This year, we will be hosting a one day BIM seminar on Thursday, July 7th from 9 am to 5 pm. The two day seminar has been cancelled, but the topics have been folded into the one day seminar for a rich BIM experience. For those of you also attending Extreme BIM, Gensler has provided a different set of speakers and lecture material.
Featured firms are HNTB and Gensler with Gautum Shenoy and Chris Bushong leading the panel of speakers. There will also be discussions about emerging technologies and the AIA TAP BIM award winners by Marty Doscher (SYNTHESIS Technology Integration) and Jim Balding (The Ant Group).
Extreme BIM is free if you enroll in the Exec Ed seminar.
