Not so fast there Mr. Bordenaro...

Not so fast there Mr. Bordenaro...

From what I can see in the attached link Mr. Kremer has shown some conceptual pretty pictures of something pointing skyward. Pretty pictures are pretty but let's not call this a BIM, let alone a BIMStorm. It is fair to say Wanda Group proposed super tall Chicago skyscraper cries out for a community focused event, one surmises from the article of Aaron Dunlap, and following comments. ( Here's How The New Wanda Supertall Would Change Our Skyline  )

Something of substance and thoughtful biophila, it is just where an honest BIMStorm begins.


Building: not a chance. it's a conceptual sketch with some GE (Google Earth) virtual back-drops;
Information: Alright, it gives me a visual yardstick, but no information, if so I can not find it.
Model: Odd 3D stacked rhomboids, not really a model, of any significance. An electronic version of Lincoln Logs, or Froebel Blocks, or plastic Legos, without the tactile touches, maybe..

BIMStorm: Where is the dust, Where is the dialog, Where are the dimensions, Where are the detes ? I can not say this is a "Storm". First it's not a BIM per se, for all the reasons above and more. And a BIMStorm, it is not, however, it can, if it takes on power, become a BIMStorm.

Let us give credit to Mr. Kremer for creating a sparkling, vision, flashing out of the urban environ, a flashlight of the future. Why not let this spark become a STORM, not of one image, or one perspective, or one solution, yet as a true BIMStorm, that of many voices, many many realities colliding, and the proper, sustaining solution for a millennia !

We bequeath the title of "Master View Maker" upon Mr. Ryan Kremer, acknowledging his zoetic contribution to the initiation of the time to come. Let us allow his initiated work to provide a path from a professional person, of the highest order, but can we Mr. Bordenaro hold off calling this collaged cityscape a BIMStorm ? Just a Food for Thot.

The Men Middle Bit

The Men Middle Bit:  I (Cara Scarmack) wrote this piece in 2013 in my playwriting program at Brooklyn College. My collaborators (Priscilla Holbrook, Cassandra Weston, Katie Proulx, Chris Weston) and I began working on this piece last fall, turning the piece into a performance-in-the-flesh, and we've had the opportunity to present excerpts throughout the year as works-in-progress at Dixon Place and the New Ohio Theatre. We are presenting the full middle movement of this operetta at this juncture because we were selected to present our work as part of a curated summer rental program, whic...
