———————–
Are you a member of a government agency overseeing building design and construction contemplating “going BIM” or the firm working with them?
Or an owner or developer considering incorporating BIM and IPD into your next project?
A principal of an architecture or construction firm? The BIM manager? Or the intern who is trying to get a grasp of the changing profession? Or even a software professional developing programs for BIM?
If so, please consider attending one of two events at USC School of Architecture this summer or forward this email to an interested colleague. These are also excellent ways to earn your AIA CEUs.
EVENT 1: Executive Education: elite, small venue, focus on dialogues with high level professionals, fee to attend. See speaker list below or visit the web site. August 2 and 3.

FREE: EVENT 2: BIM Analytics: 12 lectures, broad topics on BIM in architecture (day lighting, energy, structures, fire, acoustics), construction (carbon accounting, clash detection; interference checking, cost estimating / scheduling), parametrics (cool stuff), and BIM integration and standards within the firm. See speaker list below or visit the web site. August 4.

FIRST EVENT
=====================================
EXECUTIVE EDUCATION: August 2nd and 3rd
This year, we have launched five course offerings centered on the theme of Los Angeles as a 21st century model of critical urbanism, creativity, and culture. These courses will explore a set of strategically themed topics, connecting over a dozen of the most forward thinking global practitioners, politicians, and urban theorists today with our own faculty. One of the two-day sessions is themed around building information modeling (BIM). This is a unique opportunity to interact in a small group (25 maximum attendees) with leaders in the profession, in a session focusing on dialogue and debate. David Gerber (dgerber@usc.edu) and Karen Kensek (kensek@usc.edu) are hosting this event. Please visit the website for further information about this unique event, its distinguished speakers, and registration information.

SECOND EVENT
=====================================
BIM ANALYTICS: August 4th: FREE
BIM isn’t BIM without Information. BIM is a promising technology to encourage improved integration of design analysis into the building model. For the Fourth Annual BIM + Symposium, we will explore the nature of analytical modeling in architecture, engineering, and construction. We will seek opportunities for a more responsive integration of the evidence/simulation based design decision-making. We will have speakers who have integrated simulation and BIM in their design process, a forward looking section on BIM parametrics, and informative presentations on interoperability and standards. More information including a list of speakers and registration information will be available on the web site. Please reserve your spot soon; BIM CON!FAB filled up last year.
