In BIMStorm Data Independence, we will expand our challenge beyond the planning and preliminary design of a facility. We will explore how that facility's full lifecycle would be supported through better access to information using the kinds of principles established by SEPS2BIM. This new generation of tools and processes allows for rapid collaborations between many subject matter experts in the building industry.

" The rules are, there are no rules.
We want to encourage experimentation and being controversial.
It is much better to make mistakes in the virtual world than to make them in the real world.
Make a lot of mistakes, make them fast and move on. The truth will emerge"
