This document discusses the history of social print and collaborative learning through coffee houses in the 17th century. It notes the uneasy relationship between mass media, connectivity, and distraction. It questions the role of print in building information modeling (BIM) and the direction of travel for pushing or pulling knowledge. It advocates thinking differently to heal the future and not lose social print in a world of BIM.

Editor's Notes
- An exploration of the role of ‘social print’ in todays built environment and relationships with BIM
- Palimpsest – paper, landscape, architecture, ….sustainability?
- Tom Standage, Writing on the Wall, a history of social media over last 2000 years, from Romans, Early Christians, Luther, Coffee Houses and more.
- Are be2 events and other collaborative, learning sharing, innovative events akin to coffee houses?
- Mass media – pushing knowledge, controlling what people will read, learn, from early printing press through to modern media moguls
- Mobile computing – but has the main frame, desk top computer actually been a distraction away from socially sharing information, something only now we are ‘returning’ to with social media and mobile devices?
- Paper and computing has always had an uneasy relationship, to print or not print, to read on screen, to share electronically or in print …
- Quality control through paper control, controlling, pushing control and knowledge, rather than
- Cloud based sharing – but why do we have a fear of wiki based info in construction – are BIM Models a form of Wiki – ie collaboratively developed solutions?
- Consider where BIM is going in terms of pushing knowledge from a select few who understand BIM (the printing press moguls?) or allowing collborative sharing and pulling of knowledge from the BIM
- Interesting model, but danger that the BIM line is done by BIM teams without the real input from teams – printing enables knowledge to increase? Consider collaborative teams brainstorming around plan chests, marking up drawings, harder to f=do on screens in remote locations, in real time – social media will of couse help. How to combine both?
- Wish I had this in my Role as a Business Improvement Director … How many organisations are tuned into this thinking for improvement, best practice How many boards ….
- What the modern construction CEO / director and boards need – social media and social print Social print – the short hand written / typed notes from board meetings, issues to managers, added to, passed to sites, added to and communicated - contribute, recommend, liked, shared as per the Roman, early Christian, Lutherian approach
- Tim Robinson – Stones of Arran or Connemara – scratching maps to discover history
- Printed maps contain wealth and depth of current, historical, social, geo information, data and knowledge – plus are works of art and beauty, of inspiration and exploration. All on paper How to relate to BIM ?
- Social caving – contributing to maps
- Sharing local knowledge in wild locations
- Lets not completely disregard printing as evil, but understand its role as social print
- However – consider waste of paper in construction – the call for vast amount of hard copy in bids, the printing in offices on sites, distribution revision to drawings
