US National BIM Standard, Digital Twin, LOD, and Other Buzz Words

A fireside chat over a select technology events of the year, as they pertain to landscape-specific topics, and as contributed by the members of our group, including:

The new National BIM Standard (v4) by The National Institute of Building Sciences, which was soft-launched in September. Why is this relevant to me as a landscape architect?

Digital Twin research, direction, applications, and the work around this by the Digital Twin Integration Subcommittee of NIBS, from the angle of landscape scope. Yet another buzz word?... Does it even apply to our scope?

The Digital Technology PPN’s independent work on Levels of Development and its current collaboration with their normative global publisher, BIMForum. Will this change my workflows as a BIM modeler (Project Manager, or maybe even a Principal in Charge) for landscape scope?

ASLA’s Digital Technology PPN’s informal panels are intended to offer a forum to discuss the progress this year in our field as it further encroaches into AECO’s technological edge. To that end, make sure not to miss the separate AI session! Together, they offer a complementary overview on the topic of technology.
