Today, we continue to see increased demand and democratization for information moving from 2D to 3D, to 4D and beyond, but how will we envision and engage BIM, Geospatial, Analysis, Visualization and Collaboration tools in the future? How can we work in a more informed, integrated and visual way, while maintaining the security and integrity of our designs, our data and our decisions? How will owners, agencies, businesses and the public interface with this process and information as it becomes more valuable and more available? How will the people, the policies, the projects and the tools come together to help us better plan, design, construct and maintain a more sustainable world? Mr. Eberhard's presentation will look into the future of sustainability for our professions, our passions and our communities. It will examine the general state of design technology today and offer a glimpse of what is yet to come as we look beyond BIM for a single project and consider it at the community or city scale.
