BIMStorm San Diego Live Participants at NSAD:

We are very excited about this wonderful and historic visioning process for our City of Villages. There is so much we can learn from one another in the spirit of Livable Communities and linkages to a sustainable Carbon Neutral future for the region in 2030 and beyond. That is our charge for this weekend…to create visions and case studies that others will use in the years to come to update regional and local policies, regulations, guidelines and codes to allow for a new way of thinking about shaping healthy, walkable, energy and water efficient, economically and socially diverse, and transit oriented communities. Their growth and redevelopment must manage waste, use alternative energy and recycled water solutions, and provide for a well articulated architecture respectful of the human scale and focused on a more compact approach to mixed-use development. While there are many more attributes to aspire to during the weekend, be brilliant, have fun, network, embrace the technology of BIMStorm, and think out of the box.

We have the following request to the participants who will attend at the NSAD (1249 F Street at Park Blvd.): If you have one, bring a wireless Laptop (make sure your name is one it); and make sure you have downloaded Google Earth and some drawing software like Sketch-up, Revit, AutoCAD, Archicad, etc.). Further, since we have not been able to generate pledge contributions, we must ask each team member to bring your own trace paper; pens and drawing tools (make sure your name is one them).

ALSO…If anyone can bring a Video Camera we would like to capture portions of Friday and Saturday but all of the presentations on Saturday evening.

In regard to food, the following is the schedule we are shooting for:
Thursday - 5:30-6:30 p.m.: Appetizers/finger food, water, sodas & juice
Friday - 7:30-8:30 a.m.: Pastries, fruit, juice, water, and coffee
Friday - 12:30-1:30 p.m.: Sandwiches, chips, salad, water, sodas & juice
