BIM BUDDIES AU

 

From the Vision of Volterra exhibit at Autodesk University. This is the church of San Giusto. I began the Revit model in 2018 while staying in Volterra.

More recently Paul Aubin has taken over and upgraded various elements prior to digital printing. It also features in the splendid film that the guys have put together.

Really proud to be associated with this project and the formidable group of people that has coalesced around it.

 

 

Continuing the BIM buddy series. That suave gentleman of impeccable taste, Phil Read was hanging out at the Chaos /Enscape stand as you would expect. After a bit of arm twisting, he consented to a selfie.

Great to see Phil again and to catch up a little.

Meanwhile my favourite salt-of-the-earth Aussie, Adam Sheather was dashing across the Expo floor in search of his next commitment but paused for a brief catch up when he spotted me lumbering into his path.

Impossible to convey what it means to me to encounter these two stalwart of the BIM and digital construction community once again. Just all round good guys without a doubt

 

BIM buddies continued. On day two I had the unexpected pleasure of "observing in ignorance" while Paul Aubin and Chiara C. Rizzarda chatted in Italian. Kudos to Paul and wonderful to see Chiara. Paul and I have been hanging out with the Volterra group all week of course.

Day one, I bumped into Tom Whitehead who reminded me that we met at my first ever Revit Technology event in Atlanta. Doesn't that seem like a long time ago!

 

 Back in Tampa after a wonderful three days in San Diego. I got up at 5am for my flight, just to be safe, so a very American breakfast at the gate was a fun way to fill in the extra time.

Disgorging at Tampa arrivals I was greeted by construction barriers with my name on them. I looked them up today. "Demolition Done Right" Offices in Chicago and Tampa. Random fact. 

 

In the "mail" a couple more BIM buddy pics. Great to chat with the Chaos / Enscape team here about their latest plans. Then towards the end of the conference David Fink came along to say hi. We first met at BIM Show Live back in 2013. When I was young and handsome (and fat) 🙄 🤣🤣🤣
