TED = Technology Entertainment Design

TEDx Americas Finest City was Nationwide

Kimon Onuma is an architect . . .

Kimon started with the technology of fire

Fire got us communicating and led to civilization

Stone carving is a highly civilized technology

Egyptians used it to communicate many ideas

Fast forward to today

We have an explosion of communication

Layers and layers of information now exist

How do we make decisions about all of this?

The architectural art of problem solving can help

Architects capture ideas on paper and in other ways

Fire, stone and paper are technologies

We now must communicate ideas on the web

Social media creates a data revolution

And supports truly revolutionary actions

BIMStorms support data revolutions

Web brainstorms using Building Information Models

At one time there were 30 BIMStorms in 4 years

Now there are more - www.BIMStorm.com

BIMStorm EcoDistrict - Washington, D.C.

A case study using proven web processes

It was a National Capital Planning Agency project

The real project looked at data in many ways

BIMStorm Oklahoma City - Case Study
