BIMPulse Presents ... Skema AI (in Los Angeles)

Wed, Oct 21, 12:30 AM

From BIMPulse®

4.9

A fan favorite is back on the schedule: Skema joins BIMPulse this October for a session on AI-assisted BIM workflows. Years of design decisions are sitting inside Revit models, details, and assemblies. Most of that knowledge never leaves the project it was built for. Skema's team will be showcasing how it can value to your workflows through proven design intelligence, accelerated through AI and computational power. Expect a technical, hands-on look at real workflows and project examples. **Learning Objectives** * Identify how Skema captures design assemblies from a firm’s past projects without contributing that data to a shared or centralized AI training model, and recognize how the Design Catalog approach differs from Revit group-based reuse methods. * Describe how Skema’s bidirectional Revit integration preserves parametric data, families, and metadata (not just geometry) while syncing design changes between the browser-based design environment and native Revit models, without the need for remodeling when moving from schematic to design development, * Explain how Skema’s model federation and analytic model extend design workflows across phases by spatially organizing and coordinating multiple source models (Revit, Rhino, Grasshopper, SketchUp, IFC) within a single project * Recognize how maintaining data fidelity throughout the design process reduces the coordination errors and rework typically introduced by AI-generated or translated geometry. * Recognize next steps for evaluating or piloting Skema, including ways to incorporate into existing workflows, how to assemble a project team, ideal typologies, and ways to define success.

Through real-world examples and case studies, we'll explore how productive tension, healthy debate, and adversarial collaboration can strengthen decision-making and help teams build better products. You'll hear examples of moments when the Product and Engineering partnership was challenged to reach a better outcome, along with the processes, conversations, and lessons that helped teams move forward with a shared vision. During the conversation, we'll explore: * How Product and Engineering teams can work together to bring roadmaps to life. * How leaders balance demand management with executive communication and storytelling. * The productive tension between business priorities and technical realities. * How ‘shared visioning’ can help Product, Engineering, Business, and IT leaders align around better outcomes. Come ready for a practical conversation about navigating disagreement, building stronger partnerships, and turning productive tension into better products. **Panel** * Bernadette Irizarry, VP Product & Design - Platform Experience * Julia King, Senior Vice President, Technology for Marketing and Distribution **Moderator** * Oded Noy, CTO - Crexi, Co-founder and chairman of CTO Forum **Bios** **[Bernadette Irizarry | LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/bernirizarry/ "https://www.linkedin.com/in/bernirizarry/")** Bernadette Irizarry is a digital innovator and transformational leader with over 20 years of experience across the media, non-profit, and tech sectors.

DBSA San Gabriel Valley Monday In-Person Meetings

Tue, Nov 3, 3:00 AM

4.9

7 to 9 pm. **Please be there by 7 pm because the doors to the building lock.** Latecomers can still be let in. Support Groups Can Change Gene Expression Which Triggers Bipolar Disorder and Depression. Although DBSA (Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance) support groups are 94% effective in helping bipolar (manic depressive) or clinically depressed members with treatment adherence, another important benefit is the ability to create a social network with others sharing a condition friends or loved ones may not understand because they simply haven’t “been there.” For such individuals living in isolation, the science of epigenetics has conclusively demonstrated that this can be a life-changing or life-saving experience to an extent surprising to many immunologists and psychologists. In The Social Life of Genes: Shaping Your Molecular Composition, David Dobbs writes [italics mine]: “If you actually measure stress, using our best available instruments, it can’t hold a candle to social isolation. Social isolation is the best-established, most robust social or psychological risk factor for disease out there. Nothing can compete.” “You can’t change your genes. But if we’re even half right about all this, you can change the way your genes behave—which is almost the same thing. By adjusting your environment you can adjust your gene activity… “Despite these well-known effects, Cole said he was amazed when he started finding that social connectivity wrought such powerful effects on gene expression.” What this means is that the same genetic traits that cause a bipolar or depressive condition to manifest itself can be countered by a positive and supportive social support environment to the point the same gene expression is reduced in severity and can even become manageable. This is how, and why these groups WORK. A lack of a social support environment, and the accompanying loneliness, has some predictable outcomes… The Lethality of Loneliness We are social animals. We were never meant to be alone. Air pollution increases yours odds of an early death by 5%, obesity by 20%, alcohol by 30%, and living with loneliness by 45%.
