"BIM: A Healthy Disruption" by David Jordani, talks about how the integration of BIM will greatly change the world of designing in both positive and negative ways. I agree with his statement about how slow people will adopt to the use of BIM, because if one person uses it then the others will have to learn how to effectively use and learn from it. Businesses and schools will have to learn the ever-growing BIM technology. The collaboration process in BIM will also lag behind. It seemed like this article talked a lot more about the negative aspects of BIM, than it being a positive "health disruption". The author does talk about how people are fixing the problems, but not too much in detail.
"Suggestions for an Integrative Education" by Renee Cheng, discusses BIM as a useful tool in teaching and showing people how it expands their thinking process. However, the user still needs to have a great understanding in critical and design thinking. I agree with her statements about how it makes the person think more about the construction process when designing. Instead of a void in a wall, the program will identify it as a window or a door with the elements of a window or a door. Making the user think more in-depth of what they are designing. It applies critical thinking, the "simultaneous envision[ing] [of] multiple aspects". For example, Revit makes the user think more about how the elements actually work with each other. Compared to SketchUp, a tool for the beginning design process, Revit requires one to think about the real-like situations. Does the stair actually fit comfortably for people to use in that position? SketchUp was is thought of as a conceptual tool. Because when I used SketchUp, I would just designate a spot for the stairs or a ramp thinking it would fit perfectly and just build up. Not really thinking about if that slope is actually comfortable for people to go up on. Just as a quick tool to get some of my thoughts and ideas down.
