		<description><![CDATA[I have suggested among others that the optimum work flow could be architects focus on the design, not construction docs or the BIM, but the design and then consult during the actual engineering and BIM process, that way it minimizes redundant efforts especially in regards to BIM creation.  This process also would suggest the rise of design/build firms.  AECOM just took a huge bite out of that apple when terms were disclosed yesterday that they agreed to acquire Tishman for $245 Million Dollars

		<description><![CDATA[Early market data from Jon Peddie Research, shows a  22% drop in 2009 CAD revenues as compared to 2010.  This is just on the software side, not services, which we can argue would be worse. Subscriptions are down because why renew an empty seat as are new sales. The good news for those embracing BIM is that they reaffirm other anecdotal information that BIM is a bottom up phenomena not a mandate from management.

		<description><![CDATA["Cash flow is the king during a recession," Perini Building Co. Vice Chairman Dick Rizzo said. "As the economy shrinks, prompt payment is important. In some cases, it's the only source of income to subcontractors and vendors."  This statement brings me to my next point, when did we ever, and architecture firms I am looking at you, get to a point where this statement is the norm, 'you get paid when we get paid.'

The AEC industry is starting to break down from macro trends, etc. the complete life cycle of a building and how each decision effects it.

		<description><![CDATA[Within the last week I have been called, e-mailed and gone out to discuss sustainable retrofits.  The logic for it seems unassailable and I included some quick stats at the bottom of the posting.  However, as with the rise of virtual construction this is starting to make more sense to most that this is a real economic opportunity
