Monday June 1 20206:00 pm Rome12:00 noon New York9:00 am San FranciscoOne night Leonardo has another invention.. the most umportant of allNOT a real thing but...An Abstraction!He invented not as having figures of data on a grid but to have a description in a cell.Before If I need to have 3d CubesI had to repeat the description 3 times.Now I can have only Once! as a descriptionann then to call the Description!Cube as individual entitiyCube as Named Description / description
Five Cube as Instances fo the Description Object i can add A. Point of insertion in x y z spaceB. Scaling in the x, y z axesC. Rotation in the x, y z axes
HUgE consequences.Leonardo These time made a trip To spread the word:and he stopped at Carnegie-mellon University in the second halh of Sixtiesand metChuck EastmanChuck start to evangelize a first group of pupilsamong themChris YessiosYeuda KalayUllrich FlemmingOmarAkinJohn GeroAnd Collegue Bill MitchellWho created other pupils among whichMarcos NovakGerhard Schmittand Nino Saggiowho Spread the word...the idea was to create a 3d databaseA instatiated description of a word that contains at the same timeGeometrical 3d information but alsoFiled of quantitive data (such as in a spread sheetsor descriptive fields such as in a data base.the Great thing is that conceptual is a MODELallows such as in a Spreadsheet a WHAT IF organizationBecause it is Nested Brancheddita mano avambraccio BraccioFingers Hand Forearm ArmIt Moves and it is organized HierarchicallyMoving a branch will move the other related branchesw in the upper part.a modification of a descriptio of the original objected (or to any other part of the trees will PASS ON to all the other connected branches!And In time was clear that I can add many other field beisde the gemetrical description .. So trat I will start to have aì what I call A BIM a Buolding Information system
