Emerging Technologies in the AECO Industry
This month, join podcast host Johnny Fortune and Kimon Onuma, President of Onuma Inc. and trailblazer in architecture and technology. Onuma is also the founder of BIMStorm, an international event that brings industry organizations into a virtual environment to explore forward-looking technology.
In this episode, Onuma outlines the BIMStorm events that help foster collaboration as well as rapid prototyping and problem-solving. Fortune and Onuma also discuss a range of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and digital twins and explore their impact on the built environment. Onuma offers insight into the importance of decoupled data that enables information to be easily shared across applications and databases. He also provides an analogy for the audience to better understand data interoperability and reuse and shares how AI can complement team efforts during the design process.
