BIM Video: How a Culture of Collaboration & Technology Enables Sustainable Design Excellence at NBBJ

I havn't posted much lately from Design Intelligence but I thought this was a nice video to watch.  Of course, I wish we were able to see the PowerPoint, but still a good video to take a look at.

At the 2010 Design Futures Council Leadership Summit on Sustainable Design, Steve McConnell, Managing Partner of NBBJ spoke about new technologies that are driving innovative sustainable design solutions at NBBJ. Using two projects currently under construction, Steve discusses the need for new models of collaboration to enable paradigm shifts in our industry.

"How did you model every single CMU block and the bond beam?!"

Well the answer is simple... I didn't. Click the link below to view the tip/tutorial.
