BIM: A Healthy Disruption to a Fragmented and Broken Process| David Jordani

Jordani writes of his interpretation of BIM and its impact on design. It is his opinion that BIM and the connotation of “disruption” is not a bad thing but useful. BIM by all means is not the end all answer to the problems architecture and construction face, but as he states “BIM will serve as a
catalyst for many of the necessary changes to unfold.”


Collaboration is a large part of this and will augment the changes to come. With the increase of collaboration and input from owners, organizations might then band together under one “corporate umbrella”. I question then, what happens as a result to the individuality of all the groups that might come together? While the concept of more informed collaborative process in theory will yield higher efficiency, there is always the possibility of constraining ourselves too much.
