Big Data in AEC 2017

 

A year ago I took 1st place in a Petcha-Kutcha contest here, at RTC Europe (now BILT), so as part of the prize I presented a more thorough, if not still cursory look into Big Data in AEC.

I reprised a version of it for the LARUG folks and as promised am posting the handout and slide deck so you can dive deeper into the worlds covered... Below is also a live version caught on periscope... I dare say there are a handful of points that may not be in the handout that were mentioned so I hope this all helps (hit the images for links too :) 

The periscope capture also has Cody Nowak (@DisruptAEC) presenting on some of our realities...and Cody is someone to get to know if you already don't... do enjoy!

Realities AEC and you.

In Memorial | The Consortium | & LARUG in October

We have very sad news to share.
Not only have LARUG, The BIM Consortium, and our extended friends and colleagues lost someone dear but also a family has lost a husband and father, son and cherished soul; Joe Mendez.

The following is from a page where, if you are so inclined, can help in any way you can:

"A beloved husband and father passed away on Saturday (Sept. 23rd).
Due to the sudden death of Joe Mendez financial arrangements were never made.
Any amount can help assist for funeral costs. Thank you on behalf of the Mendez family. God bless."

LARUG will be scheduling a meetup on October 25th at UploadLA, but we will get that info out next week through Meetup, as usual. We will spend some time sharing thoughts and feelings for Joe and the great impact he has had on so many of us in AEC and elsewhere...

We will always miss you Joe, you have left us far too soon... -Jz
