ONUMA, Inc. has been focusing on integration using advanced
processes and tools including BIM since the early 90s. The following is
a collection of white papers and articles of our view of the new
integrated reality that has been evolving.
The papers include:
Integrated
Practice - One View of a National Initiative – January 2007
Integration as defined by the American Institute of Architects
http://aia.org/ip_default
will not be possible without open standards. It is as fundamental as
the standards that support the banking industry (U.S. Dollar and
others) and the standards that let you view this page on the internet.
Integrated
Facility Planning using BIM Web Portals – Oct. 9, 2006
Distributed systems of knowledge and information linked through the
internet will transform how we work with BIM.
Sustainable
Architect – June, 2006
The construction industry is collectively one of the largest in the
world. The architect is in the pilot's seat driving the decision making
process that triggers construction. By keeping the status quo of the
current process with the 30% built in waste factor, we are therefore in
a way one of the worst offenders in the impact on global warming. This
is a crisis. Regardless of whether it makes economic sense to change
our process to be more integrated, we have a moral obligation to change
just for the sake of changing the impact on the environment and the
future of the planet.
Twenty
First Century Architect – April 2006
It is and it is not about technology. There is no magic bullet of how
we will work in this century. We will still value knowledge and
experience. What we will not value is complacency and a status quo
approach to business. There are huge opportunities for the industry.
This pager was written as chapter 6 in the AIA Report on Integrated
Practice.
