The BIM Student

In this episode, we are talking to Stephan Fai about a project called, Imagining Digital twin of Canada.  Stephen Fai is a full professor in the Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism at Carleton University. Having served as the acting director of the School (2002 - 2004), director (2004 - 2005), and associate director—graduate programs (2006 – 2010), he is currently the co-chair of the PhD program. Professor Fai is cross appointed to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Institute for Comparative Studies in Literature, Art and Culture (ICSLAC). He is also the director of the Carleton Immersive Media Studio (CIMS). CIMS is a multidisciplinary research unit that addresses theoretical and applied research questions related to the integration of digital technologies in the architecture, engineering, construction, and owner operator (AECOO) industry. #DIGITALTWIN #Canada #AECInnovation #AECtechnologies #BIM

In this Episode we will be talking about Digital twins with our Guest Kirk Stalkie. 

Kirk explores the connections between design, technology and how they create the world around us. He believes that technology expands the capabilities of those who leverage it, improving the built environment as a whole. As a Design Technology Manager at NORR Architects & Engineers, Kirk constantly examines and implements new tools and workflows to improve how NORR's integrated design teams deliver projects. Kirk is also the Executive Director of Digital Built - National Capital Region (dbNCR), facilitating the connections between people, the built environment and technology in the nation’s capital. As an Instructor at Algonquin College, he urges the next generation of professionals to continue advancing the industry through the creative use of technology. Kirk is also involved in the national BIM Community, sitting on the Education and Industry Engagement Think Tank of the Canada BIM Council, and working with the Affiliate program of buildingSMART Canada.

This is literally how we came up with the idea of starting a podcast that will encourage the dialogue around BIM adoption, challenges and various aspects related to BIM adoption. 

This podcast is for anyone who is interested in Digital Transformation in AEC and Evolution of BIM.
