Carrie Dossick- Skanska, Greg Howes- Idea Building Homes
"Using 3D Technology to Architect Communities"
Not unlike a conference such as Serious Play, Construction is a production. Lots of different people work with big toys (dump trucks and tower cranes) to put big (and small) building components together (concrete walls, asphalt roofs, door handles and electrical sockets). The production of buildings requires work and play at many levels: architects, engineers, contractors, suppliers, consultants, trades, users, developers, and operators all engage the project in different and important ways. Consequently, modern construction projects are multi-player games where communication is critical to success. In this talk we share how a collaboration between academia and industry explored gaming platforms, Virtual Worlds, with emerging construction modeling tools known as Building Information Modeling (BIM) for better collaboration, communication, and team engagement.
