Helping to implement the buildingSMART approach
Representatives of the buildingSMART Product and Process Rooms, together with officers of buildingSMART International, met in Johnston, Providence County, Rhode Island in the US on 16 and 17 August to brainstorm future directions. There is an urgent need to expedite the development of process and product data standards, and the meetings explored
areas for future projects to meet this need.
 
Building live’ in London
A design competition requiring the use of open BIM took place in London in May, attracting participants from 37 different countries. The aim of the competition was to allow teams
to experiment in creating multidisciplinary BIMs and develop an imaginary landmark project in London. The winning designs will never be built but the teams picked up valuable experience and had a lot of fun along the way.
 
Provision for BIM training
Research into BIM education and training in buildingSMART countries has shown growing provision, notably in Norway and South Korea, with a preference for classroom training. The research took the form of a questionnaire circulated to chapters and institutions to identify who is providing BIM education. Responses were received from organisations in four countries, and the picture to date is only partial. Highlights of the research include the open BIM educational programme that buildingSMART Norway is launching in 2012, with four pilots. There will be a general module on multidisciplinary working with open BIM (a one-dayclients, consultants and contractors (each two-day classes). Other training in Norway is given by software suppliers, with Graphisoft offering training in the use of open BIM.

Alain Maury, vice-chairman of the chapter, provides some answers.
