New - 3D Printing World Think board - Architecture -Construction Design even...Vijay Krishnan
The document discusses the current uses and potential of 3D printing in architecture and construction. It notes that while 3D printing has been used since the 1990s to produce design models, its aesthetic and design capabilities remain untapped. Physical models are becoming practical again with 3D printing technology, which allows complex curved structures to be printed using less material. The document explores how 3D printing could revolutionize construction by providing lower-cost housing through more efficient processes and material usage.
EMA Architects moved to using Revit from AutoCAD based on positive experiences reported by colleagues. Revit allows them to address construction issues earlier, provide more information to clients sooner, and gain efficiencies. Anthony Erb was able to complete working drawings for one project in two weeks after getting accustomed to Revit, compared to two days for the next project. Revit integrates modeling, documentation, and scheduling in a way that streamlines the design and construction process.

The love of making things need not be confined to the physical world - electronic form giving is an equal hands-on experience. My talk is investigation of the possibility of craft in the digital realm. There is a growing correspondence between digital work and traditional craft. Anyone who gives form with software, whether in web design, architecture, motion graphics or modeling, is practicing personal knowledge and producing visual artifacts that, although not material, are nevertheless products of the hands, eyes and mind.
The talk stars with an introduction to my current role at The Group, thoughts on the Bauhaus movement (and their understanding of craft & technology) and concludes with interviews by various digital crafts people.
Design Designen was created for the 6. Typotage in Munich which took place on 21. July 2009.

Article #1 Common Challenges Faced in Building Information Modeling (BIM) Ado...ASPiREBiM Solutions
The document discusses common challenges faced in adopting Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the construction industry. It identifies five main challenges: 1) Lack of expertise, as most construction companies do not have qualified professionals trained in integrating BIM; 2) Lack of relevance and awareness of BIM, as many construction projects do not utilize modern practices; 3) Interoperability issues between different software programs and platforms used by stakeholders; 4) Constricted budgets that make it difficult for small and medium companies to invest in new technologies; 5) A reluctant or "old school" approach among industry professionals who resist new technologies and training. These challenges contribute to the slower than desired pace of BIM adoption in the construction sector.
From email to BIM: 20 years of construction collaboration technologiespwcom.co.uk Ltd

Technische Universität München November 2014 Neil Marshall
Neil Marshall is a chartered architectural technologist and chartered construction manager who has been implementing BIM within his practice since 2005. The document discusses his experience transitioning to BIM on several projects in the early 2010s. It describes the training and support provided to staff, challenges encountered with clashing software platforms, and benefits observed like improved coordination, visualization of designs, and client engagement. The implementation of BIM helped deliver projects on time and within budget by utilizing federated models for clash detection and single sources of truth.
This document discusses the importance and evolution of data modeling. It argues that data modeling is critical to all architecture disciplines, not just database development, as the data model provides common definitions and vocabulary. The document reviews the history of data management from the 1950s to today, noting how data modeling was originally used primarily for database development but now has broader applications. It discusses different types of data models for different purposes, and walks through traditional "top-down" and "bottom-up" approaches to using data models for database development. The overall message is that data modeling remains important but its uses and best practices have expanded beyond its original scope.

A short presentation for the Be2Camp North meetup on the potential for micro-blogging within architectural collaboration.
Based on the following blog entry:
http://www.stress-free.co.nz/using_microblogging_to_record_architectural_design_conversation_alongside_the_bim
This document provides an overview of Building Information Modeling (BIM). It begins by defining BIM as the total, collaborative and virtual modelling of all aspects of a facility prior to construction, during construction and in use. It then lists several reports and initiatives from the past few decades that have helped drive the construction industry towards improved collaboration and the use of BIM. The document discusses how BIM represents a continuation of efforts to improve the construction process and emphasizes that BIM requires collaborative working practices. It outlines some of the integrated processes that are important for effective BIM use and highlights new tools such as BIM, social media, and circular economy principles that can help address the large challenge of improving construction.
http://www.beck-technology.com - After working with some of the best estimating talent in the country over the past three years, deploying Building Information Modeling (BIM), I’d like to share some lessons learned in using BIM for conceptual estimating. Successfully using BIM for conceptual estimating requires the same investment as most new technologies: you’ve got to plan and commit both time and money. One of the more unique aspects of BIM is that it is a crossover technology – it was originally created for one purpose and now we’re developing alternate ways to leverage it. BIM has the potential to be a highly disruptive technology, changing the way we plan and build by improving speed, quality and cost.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

2. urbandictionary.com: more betterer
Used when someone running a project or task needs to explain to
people he is answerable to, who don't have the skills or knowledge to
understand what is going on, that the project is still at an early stage
(prototype or rough cut) and will significantly improve in quality of
appearance and content by the time it is finished.
This is the initial look and feel which is very rough but we are going to
spoodle it all up and make it more betterer before we finish.
