Episode Synopsis

Kimon Onuma and Cyril Verley trace the evolution of architecture’s digital journey, from hand drafting, to early CAD experiments, to the rise of BIM and Revit. Cyril shares firsthand stories from Skidmore, Goody Clancy, Autodesk, and HOK, where clash detection became BIM’s first killer app, saving thousands of dollars per conflict. Together, they unpack how beautiful models often bury critical data, why “Hollywood BIM” still fails owners, and how AI now forces the industry to deliver on the long-promised value of structured information. A short history of CAD, BIM, digital twins, and the persistent clash between flashy models and usable data.
