On Friday 1 November 2013, the Design Innovation Research Centre held a workshop on BIM. Several international academics were invited to make presentations at the workshop including John Messner, Professor of Architectural Engineering at Penn State University; Professor Rafael Sacks from Technion University in Israel; Professor Bimal Kumar from Glasgow Caledonian University; visiting Professor at the University of Reading Mervyn Richards and others.
PhD students from Reading, Penn State and UCL spoke about their research in BIM. Delegates had the opportunity to take part in demonstrations using the immersive displays in the Visualization and Interactive Technologies Centre.
And, what were the take-aways from this fantastic opportunity to exchange ideas from people across the pond and closer to home?
