Blinkie.World preview!

Here is a preview of Blinkie.world, my blinkie collecton site! The goal here is to collect every blinkie on earth (but only if they're free to use, and can be credited). They're all sorted into these color pages, and also sorted into tons of sub categories on other pages (like food, animals, holidays, etc etc). This is what some of the color pages look like now! Once I have at least 300 blinkies in each color, then I'll consider the site full enough to go live! I'm aiming to get it online by Art Fight (aka by July this year).

Do note that this isn't actually an accurate representation of how many I have. I have thousands more than this! I just have to code them all in. It's not as quick as just an image tag and a link, because it also needs to be named, linked to it's source, tagged so I know what categories they're in, have a link to a screenshot that proves who the creator is and their terms (in case the credit link dies one day), have alt text, and have hover text which says the creator and a description of what the blinkie says! So, it's not like this:

<img src="">

It's actually like this:

<a href="" target="_BLANK">

<img src="" alt="" title="Credit: . ID: """></a>

<!--Categories: -->

<!--Screencap: -->

And that's for every blinkie! You can probably see how this is so time consuming, but I think it's worth it. I've never seen a blinkie collection with 6,000+ blinkies, much less every single one credited, and even less sorted into dozens of categories! It's like I have a blinkie for everything, while also knowing the creator of each, and being able to easily search for a specific one via the sorting system! It's especially good for helping others find blinkies, and helping people get the sources for blinkies they already have! It's also great for finding blinkies to use for your ocs (which is my initial reason for doing this).

I'm very excited about this. I really think this could be a very fun resource for people, and that aside, I just really like having so many in my possession. I love to see them. I even have blinkies that I've downloaded before they were deleted off the internet! That's very exciting to me. I have blinkies that are straight up lost media, and I'm happy to be able to preserve them.

Of course as I said, it's going to take forever to add them all, but I'm chipping away at it. I shall not be stopped! Also, if you want a blinkie in any of these screenshots above, just let me know! I'll get it and it's source for you, easy peasy! I'll post more screenshots as significant progress is made, but for now, it's back to downloading blinkies!

NAVIGATING PROJECT MANAGEMENT IN THE AEC INDUSTRY

Navigating Project Management in the AEC industry involves a series of interconnected tasks that require effective planning, execution, monitoring, and control. By following best practices and leveraging project management methodologies such as APM, SCRUM, KANBAN, or the Traditional WATERFALL Project Management Methodology, the AEC professionals can successfully deliver complex projects while meeting stakeholder expectations and achieving project objectives.

As an architectural manager with a Master of Architecture degree and an architectural engineering degree from reputable institutes, having experience in project and design management for large-scale commercial facilities, multi-story offices, and high-rise administration buildings, I can provide the necessary artifacts to enhance project success, improve team collaboration, and effectively handle project complexities in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector.

1. Set Clear Goals and Objectives:

Define project scope, including deliverables and constraints.

Establish SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals.

Align goals with stakeholder expectations and project requirements.

Obtain buy-in from key stakeholders on project objectives.

2. Develop a Comprehensive Project Plan:

Create a detailed work breakdown structure (WBS) to organize project tasks.

Define project milestones and dependencies.

Develop a project schedule with timelines and resource allocation.

Identify risks and develop a risk management plan.

Establish a budget and financial plan for the project.

3. Foster Effective Communication:

Establish communication channels and protocols for project team members.

Hold regular project meetings to discuss progress, issues, and updates.

Use clear and concise language in all communications.

Encourage open and transparent communication among team members.

Address communication barriers and conflicts promptly.

4. Embrace Technology and Communication:

Utilize project management software for task tracking and collaboration.

Implement communication tools such as emails, instant messaging, and video conferencing.

Leverage cloud-based platforms for document sharing and version control.

Provide training and support for team members on project management tools.

Stay updated on new technologies and tools to improve project efficiency.

5. Manage Change Effectively:

Establish a change control process to evaluate and approve changes to project scope.

Communicate changes to stakeholders and assess their impact on project objectives.

Update project documentation and plans to reflect approved changes.

Monitor changes to prevent scope creep and ensure project alignment with goals.

Evaluate the risks and benefits of proposed changes before implementation.

6. Foster Collaboration and Teamwork:

Encourage team members to share ideas, feedback, and best practices.

Foster a collaborative work environment that values diversity and inclusivity.

Promote team building activities and recognize team achievements.

Facilitate cross-functional collaboration and knowledge sharing.

Resolve conflicts and promote a positive team culture.

7. Continuously Monitor and Evaluate Progress:

Track project performance against key performance indicators (KPIs).

Conduct regular project reviews to assess progress and identify areas for improvement.

Monitor project risks and issues and take corrective actions as needed.

Evaluate project outcomes against initial goals and objectives.

Use lessons learned to make informed decisions and optimize project performance.

By focusing on these subtasks within each point, project managers can enhance project success, improve team collaboration, and effectively manage project complexities in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry.

Honestly I recommend everyone learn just a littttle bit of CSS because it really is powerful and just makes bits and pieces of your internet experience more convenient.

Right now I'm cataloguing recipes I've really enjoyed, just trying to get them all in one place. Many of these are instagram recipes and, because I don't trust link rot (aka the possibility that the instagram link goes dead one day), I'm including a screenshot of the recipe along with the link.

But instagram on desktop... looks like this

(Link, for credit. It's a good recipe)

I obviously could just copy-paste the recipe out of there. But a screenshot would be cleaner for how I'm cataloguing these.

And as-is, I'd have to scroll the whole height of that small right-side window about 4 times to fit it all.

But actually... I can just resize that div holding that whole right-side content

Basically I

hit f12 to open the dev tools

clicked the element finder

clicked on an element inside the recipe side

followed it up the tree until I found the element holding the whole recipe side (do this by hovering the div in the dev tools panel way on the right, then hovering upward and up until I find the element which is the highest up that still only contains the recipe-side content)

in the element.style part, set "width: 1000px" and "height: 1500px"

(I notice the width seems to still be less than 1000px, even though it got bigger)

likely suggests there's an element above it with a max-width set

go up the tree higher until I find the element with the max-width and uncheck that style

screenshot ready

Maybe that sounded complicated but it took me probably 20-30 seconds

And this isn't just about screenshotting recipes like.

website with an annoying gif? select gif, delete gif

do you want a clean screenshot of a digital receipt for record-keeping without a large company banner or irrelevant information? delete unnecessary elements, adjust widths, screenshot

SOMETIMES, you can bypass paywalls if they're relying on something like overflow: hidden, or an overlay in the way, or some JS that runs (you can disable JS in the dev tools)

lost the jpg/png file you used for your profile picture and size doesn't totally matter? grab it from the img src while logged in. (you might even be able to find it in a bigger size by changing the url query parameters)

color contrast on an article really bad? find and change background color. find and change font color

want to make a funny fake screenshot without learning photoshop? just edit the page content in the dev tools

This isn't about like being good enough to write scripts or browser extensions. Really if you just have some basic HTML/CSS understanding a hat worth of tricks, you can make so many little adjustments in your favor.

Antiusurpation and the road to disenshittification

THIS WEEKEND (November 8-10), I'll be in TUCSON, AZ: I'm the GUEST OF HONOR at the TUSCON SCIENCE FICTION CONVENTION.

Nineties kids had a good reason to be excited about the internet's promise of disintermediation: the gatekeepers who controlled our access to culture, politics, and opportunity were crooked as hell, and besides, they sucked.

For a second there, we really did get a lot of disintermediation, which created a big, weird, diverse pluralistic space for all kinds of voices, ideas, identities, hobbies, businesses and movements. Lots of these were either deeply objectionable or really stupid, or both, but there was also so much cool stuff on the old, good internet.

Then, after about ten seconds of sheer joy, we got all-new gatekeepers, who were at least as bad, and even more powerful, than the old ones. The net became Tom Eastman's "Five giant websites, each filled with screenshots of the other four." Culture, politics, finance, news, and especially power have been gathered into the hands of unaccountable, greedy, and often cruel intermediaries.

Oh, also, we had an election.

This isn't an election post. I have many thoughts about the election, but they're still these big, unformed blobs of anger, fear and sorrow. Experience teaches me that the only way to get past this is to just let all that bad stuff sit for a while and offgas its most noxious compounds, so that I can handle it safely and figure out what to do with it.

While I wait that out, I'm just getting the job done. Chop wood, carry water. I've got a book to write, Enshittification, for Farar, Straus, Giroux's MCD Books, and it's very nearly done:

https://twitter.com/search?q=from%3Adoctorow+%23dailywords&src=typed_query&f=live

Compartmentalizing my anxieties and plowing that energy into productive work isn't necessarily the healthiest coping strategy, but it's not the worst, either. It's how I wrote nine books during the covid lockdowns.

And sometimes, when you're not staring directly at something, you get past the tunnel vision that makes it impossible to see its edges, fracture lines, and weak points.

So I'm working on the book. It's a book about platforms, because enshittification is a phenomenon that is most visible and toxic on platforms. Platforms are intermediaries, who connect buyers and sellers, creators and audiences, workers and employers, politicians and voters, activists and crowds, as well as families, communities, and would-be romantic partners.

There's a reason we keep reinventing these intermediaries: they're useful. Like, it's technically possible for a writer to also be their own editor, printer, distributor, promoter and sales-force:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/02/19/crad-kilodney-was-an-outlier/#intermediation

But without middlemen, those are the only writers we'll get. The set of all writers who have something to say that I want to read is much larger than the set of all writers who are capable of running their own publishing operation.

The problem isn't middlemen: the problem is powerful middlemen. When an intermediary gets powerful enough to usurp the relationship between the parties on either side of the transaction, everything turns to shit:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/06/12/direct-the-problem-of-middlemen/

A dating service that faces pressure from competition, regulation, interoperability and a committed workforce will try as hard as it can to help you find Your Person. A dating service that buys up all its competitors, cows its workforce, captures its regulators and harnesses IP law to block interoperators will redesign its service so that you keep paying forever, and never find love:

https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2024/02/13/1228749143/the-dating-app-paradox-why-dating-apps-may-be-worse-than-ever

Multiply this a millionfold, in every sector of our complex, high-tech world where we necessarily rely on skilled intermediaries to handle technical aspects of our lives that we can't – or shouldn't – manage ourselves. That world is beholden to predators who screw us and screw us and screw us, jacking up our rents:

https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/yes-there-are-antitrust-voters-in

Cranking up the price of food:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/10/04/dont-let-your-meat-loaf/#meaty-beaty-big-and-bouncy

And everything else:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/11/06/attention-rents/#consumer-welfare-queens

(Maybe this is a post about the election after all?)

The difference between a helpmeet and a parasite is power. If we want to enjoy the benefits of intermediaries without the risks, we need policies that keep middlemen weak. That's the opposite of the system we have now.

Take interoperability and IP law. Interoperability (basically, plugging new things into existing things) is a really powerful check against powerful middlemen. If you rely on an ad-exchange to fund your newsgathering and they start ripping you off, then an interoperable system that lets you use a different exchange will not only end the rip off – it'll make it less likely to happen in the first place because the ad-tech platform will be afraid of losing your business:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/05/save-news-we-must-shatter-ad-tech

Interoperability means that when a printer company gouges you on ink, you can buy cheap third party ink cartridges and escape their grasp forever:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/11/ink-stained-wretches-battle-soul-digital-freedom-taking-place-inside-your-printer

Interoperability means that when Amazon rips off audiobook authors to the tune of $100m, those authors can pull their books from Amazon and sell them elsewhere and know that their listeners can move their libraries over to a different app:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/09/07/audible-exclusive/#audiblegate

But interoperability has been in retreat for 40 years, as IP law has expanded to criminalize otherwise normal activities, so that middlemen can use IP rights to protect themselves from their end-users and business customers:

https://locusmag.com/2020/09/cory-doctorow-ip/

That's what I mean when I say that "IP" is "any law that lets a business reach beyond its own walls and control the actions of its customers, competitors and critics."

For example, there's a pernicious law 1998 US law that I write about all the time, Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the "anticircumvention law." This is a law that felonizes tampering with copyright locks, even if you are the creator of the undelying work.

So Amazon – the owner of the monopoly audiobook platform Audible – puts a mandatory copyright lock around every audiobook they sell. I, as an author who writes, finances and narrates the audiobook, can't provide you, my customer, with a tool to remove that lock. If I do so, I face criminal sanctions: a five year prison sentence and a $500,000 fine for a first offense:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/07/25/can-you-hear-me-now/#acx-ripoff

In other words: if I let you take my own copyrighted work out of Amazon's app, I commit a felony, with penalties that are far stiffer than the penalties you would face if you were to simply pirate that audiobook. The penalties for you shoplifting the audiobook on CD at a truck-stop are lower than the penalties the author and publisher of the book would face if they simply gave you a tool to de-Amazon the file. Indeed, even if you hijacked the truck that delivered the CDs, you'd probably be looking at a shorter sentence.

This is a law that is purpose-built to encourage intermediaries to usurp the relationship between buyers and sellers, creators and audiences. It's a charter for parasitism and predation.

But as bad as that is, there's another aspect of DMCA 1201 that's even worse: the exemptions process.

You might have read recently about the Copyright Office "freeing the McFlurry" by granting a DMCA 1201 exemption for companies that want to reverse-engineer the error-codes from McDonald's finicky, unreliable frozen custard machines:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/10/28/mcbroken/#my-milkshake-brings-all-the-lawyers-to-the-yard

Under DMCA 1201, the Copyright Office hears petitions for these exemptions every three years. If they judge that anticircumvention law is interfering with some legitimate activity, the statute empowers them to grant an exemption.

When the DMCA passed in 1998 (and when the US Trade Rep pressured other world governments into passing nearly identical laws in the decades that followed), this exemptions process was billed as a "pressure valve" that would prevent abuses of anticircumvention law.

But this was a cynical trick. The way the law is structured, the Copyright Office can only grant "use" exemptions, but not "tools" exemptions. So if you are granted the right to move Audible audiobooks into a third-party app, you are personally required to figure out how to do that. You have to dump the machine code of the Audible app, decompile it, scan it for vulnerabilities, and bootstrap your own jailbreaking program to take Audible wrapper off the file.

No one is allowed to help you with this. You aren't allowed to discuss any of this publicly, or share a tool that you make with anyone else. Doing any of this is a potential felony.

In other words, DMCA 1201 gives intermediaries power over you, but bans you from asking an intermediary to help you escape another abusive middleman.

This is the exact opposite of how intermediary law should work. We should have rules that ban intermediaries from exercising undue power over the parties they serve, and we should have rules empowering intermediaries to erode the advantage of powerful intermediaries.

The fact that the Copyright Office grants you an exemption to anticircumvention law means nothing unless you can delegate that right to an intermediary who can exercise it on your behalf.

A world without publishing intermediaries is one in which the only writers who thrive are the ones capable of being publishers, too, and that's a tiny fraction of all the writers with something to say.

A world without interoperability intermediaries is one in which the only platform users who thrive are also skilled reverse-engineering ninja hackers – and that's an infinitesimal fraction of the platform users who would benefit from interoperabilty.

Let this be your north star in evaluating platform regulation proposals. Platform regulation should weaken intermediaries' powers over their users, and strengthen their power over other middlemen.

Put in this light, it's easy to see why the ill-informed calls to abolish Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (which makes platform users, not platforms, responsible for most unlawful speech) are so misguided:

https://www.techdirt.com/2020/06/23/hello-youve-been-referred-here-because-youre-wrong-about-section-230-communications-decency-act/

If we require platforms to surveil all user speech and block anything that might violate any law, we give the largest, most powerful platforms a permanent advantage over smaller, better platforms, run by co-ops, hobbyists, nonprofits local governments, and startups. The big platforms have the capital to rig up massive, automated surveillance and censorship systems, and the only alternatives that can spring up have to be just as big and powerful as the Big Tech platforms we're so desperate to escape:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/03/23/evacuate-the-platforms/#let-the-platforms-burn

This is especially grave given the current political current, where fascist politicians are threatening platforms with brutal punishments for failing to censor disfavored political views.

Anyone who tells you that "it's only censorship when the government does it" is badly confused. It's only a First Amendment violation when the government does it, sure – but censorship has always relied on intermediaries. From the Inquisition to the Comics Code, government censors were only able to do their jobs because powerful middlemen, fearing state punishments, blocked anything that might cross the line, censoring far beyond the material actually prohibited by the law:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/02/22/self-censorship/#hugos

We live in a world of powerful, corrupt middlemen. From payments to real-estate, from job-search to romance, there's a legion of parasites masquerading as helpmeets, burying their greedy mouthparts into our tender flesh:

https://www.capitalisnt.com/episodes/visas-hidden-tax-on-americans

But intermediaries aren't the problem. You shouldn't have to stand up your own payment processor, or learn the ins and outs of real-estate law, or start your own single's bar. The problem is power, not intermediation.

As we set out to build a new, good internet (with a lot less help from the US government than seemed likely as recently as last week), let's remember that lesson: the point isn't disintermediation, it's weak intermediation.

Your Birthday's Significance

Your birthday mark the day you were born (duh), but it's more than just a day we celebrate the day you were born. It marks the day you came into this world. As we know, in Astrology, we calculate our birth chart/ natal chart based on the exact moment you were born. It will ten create a map, with planets, asteroids, placements, and houses based on a rising, and specific degrees represents the specific placements of planets the minute you came into this world, and this detail makes you very unique. In this case, your birthday isn't just a celebration, it's also your personal new year. While humanity celebrate it as a group of individual on a certain date (depending on the culture), you as an individual will celebrate it on the day you were born. You are growing one year older, with one year full of new achievements and new events coming into your life. Let's see what can help you see those!

Your Solar Return Chart

જ⁀➴ Calculate your Solar Return here.

Free Horoscopes > Horoscopes Drawings & Data > Extended Chart Selection > Chart Type: Solar Return Chart

Your Solar Return Chart (SRC) is an Astrological tool that enables you to see what will most likely happen to you during your next year. As it is said, it is your Solar Return, so your Sun's return. Based on your natal sun, on the exact degree, SRC is calculated based on when the Sun will return on the same sign with the exact same degree. You'll see in each SRC, your Sun is in the same sign and degree as your Natal Sun. Only the house will change if you have different risings in your SRC over the years.

This means that each year, on your birthday, or the day before your birthday sometimes, you'll pass through another SRC, and have a view on what will most likely happen to you. You can also use this technique to check previous SRC and understand some life events better. Checking our SRC is a way to see that every years of our life, we achieve and change, and transform, as we are meant to evolve with time.

Annual Profections

જ⁀➴ Calculate your Annual Profections here.

Annual Profections are based also on Astrology, and mostly on our ages and houses. Basically, this tool explains that depending on which age (and so birthdays) we are, we embody a certain house that year. For example, when you will turn 25, you'll embody the 2H more. It usually means you'll probably be more focus on savings, money, perhaps making more money this year, or also changing the way you manage your money, etc. Each House has a different meaning. Of course, this doesn't mean you will need to wait to be on a certain house to do something. It just means as an individual, those houses will represent your more intern focus. And it may actually go naturally, without you need to force anything. Life is most likely to put you through certain transformations based on the houses' themes.

Numerology's Personal Year

This isn't a subject I know very well, I just have some base. So if you are interested in it, I suggest checking more on Tumblr or the Internet. An account that has more knowledge is @lilithsrealm. I suggest checking their account!

Numerology is a great tool too to check on your birthday. Just as with SRC and Annual Profections, Numerology can also tell you in what phase you'll enter this "new year". You'll need to take your birth day, birth month, and the current year of your birthday, add all of those numbers together, and then get a number that will be the total of all of those, and this will be your personal year number!

Example: I was born on August 6th, so 8 / 6. And this is the year 2024. So I'll calculate 8 + 6 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 4. All together this makes 22, so it's my personal year number this year. So, specific case, but 22 is a master number, so in this case we don't really add it together again. But if you end up with any other number than 10/ 11/ 22 or 33, then you add it together. Even if mine is 22, the 4 energy will still be there, but 22 is important. I say 4 because 2+2=4 (lol).

Every year, on your birthday, your personal year number change, indicating you'll go through another cycle of your life. Each numbers mean something specific, so I suggest making more researches after finding out yours!

Destiny Matrix

જ⁀➴ Calculate your Destiny Matrix Chart here.

જ⁀➴ Destiny Matrix Romance Numbers

Destiny Matrix is an Esoteric tool that explores the 22 Arcana's of the Tarot to see a different approach of yourself and your life, as a Chart, similar to Astrology. It's a tool that also enable you to develop your full potential as an individual. Numbers and Chakras are used instead of signs, houses and degrees. Numbers on the Chart will go from 1 to 22, representing each Tarot's 22 Major Arcanas. Colored Numbers are your main energies, they are also great tools to understand your true potential and why you came into this life, but also past life, desires, and your soul's purpose. On each sides of the chart, you'll see your different ages, representing different eras of your life. And above those different ages, you'll see a number, between 1 to 22.

Different ages then represent different birthdays. And the numbers above those age represents the different energies, based on the Tarot's Major Arcanas. It will represent the energy of those specific years, and not only in a specific area, but as a whole. For example, I have 8 this year, so this can represent entering legal matters with someone, for example, a wedding, or a contract with a society. It can also mean being more mature and taking more responsible choices. It's also closing a karmic cycle, etc.

Possible Rule Change Regarding DM Screenshots on Tumblr

Due to an ongoing conflict between Automattic (WordPress/Tumblr) and WPEngine (a WordPress hosting service), CEO Matt Mullenweg has proposed a rule change banning the sharing of DM/private message screenshots (source) (edit: Kellie's article that set off this exchange).

Given the slapdash way this whole situation has been handled, I wouldn't be surprised if the change was implemented and began being enforced without warning.

Transcription of highlighted exchange below cut

matt: Discovery is fair game and goes through the courts to determine what is salient to be included as part of the public record. I'm 100% fine with all my interactions with the plaintiffs being part of discovery; in fact, I think it helps our case.

Kellie Peterson (source): FWIW publishing DMs/texts isn't even against the community guidelines of Tumblr. https:/www.tumblr.com/search/text%20message?src=suggested_search

matt: (replying to another part of the conversation) Are you now suggesting I treat women differently than men? I vehemently deny that. matt: Thank you for pointing out the failure that publishing DMs/texts without permission is not currently enumerated. I will make sure it gets added to WordPress and Tumblr's community guidelines.

Kellie Peterson: So you'll make the internet safer by preventing victims of harassment from sharing proof. Got it champ.

zachflauaus (other participant): This is not the decision you should be making as a result of this conversation, Matt. That you took this so personally, you're changing the rules on a dime to further protect your feelings without considering why (among the many reasons!) people publish DMs, is wild. To quote myself from earlier: But it would, at the very least, get me to reflect on what happened for them to have shared those messages. (Not to mention you are further reducing the content that people will feel safe to publish on your platforms (see: Tumblr).)

Words Mean Things (notdefendingtaylor's version)

cognitive dissonance: cognitive dissonance occurs when a person's behavior and beliefs do not complement each other or when they hold two contradictory beliefs [e.g.: conflicting/dual standards] (src)

doxxing: doxxing comes from the term “dropping documents”, and is the act of publishing someone’s personal, confidential information on the internet, often with malicious intent. personal, confidential information includes: phone numbers, home addresses, bank account details, credit card details, social security numbers, Personal communications, prior legal offenses, personal imagery, private life incidents (src) [not defined: handles/screennames for blocking purposes]

hate vs criticism: The main difference between criticism and hate is that criticism focuses on ideas, actions, or policies, while hate targets individuals or groups based on protected characteristics. (src)

intersectionality: intersectionality is a sociological analytical framework for understanding how groups' and individuals' social and political identities result in unique combinations of discrimination and privilege. Examples of these factors include gender, caste, sex, race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, religion, disability, height, age, and weight [a lot of categories besides just being a cis woman!] (src)

misogyny: hatred of, contempt for, or prejudice against women or girls [not drawing attention to the imperfections or dubious actions of one] (src)

stalking: stalking is generally defined as the intentional, repeated following of a person for the purpose of harassing the person with express or implied threats of violence or death. (src)

DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES that enhance coordination for real estate developers

In the 21st century, the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry has seen a rapid evolution with the adoption of new digital technologies that enhance coordination and integration among project stakeholders for real estate developers.

As an experienced architectural manager with a Master's Degree in Architecture, an Architectural Engineering degree, and expertise in BIM processes from reputable institutions, here are some key technologies that can be effectively utilized within the organization:

1. Building Information Modeling (BIM): According to ISO 19650, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a collaborative process that utilizes digital information to create a shared knowledge resource for the design, construction, and operation of built assets, such as buildings and infrastructure. BIM involves the generation and management of digital representations of the physical and functional characteristics of a facility. These digital representations form a reliable basis for decision-making throughout the asset lifecycle, from initial planning and design through construction, operation, and maintenance.

BIM is a 3D modeling technology that enables stakeholders to create, collaborate, and manage building design and construction information in a digital environment.

BIM facilitates better coordination, clash detection, visualization, and data sharing among architects, engineers, contractors, and clients throughout the project lifecycle.

2. Virtual Design and Construction (VDC): Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) is a methodology that utilizes digital technologies, such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), 3D modeling, simulation, and visualization tools, to create virtual representations of construction projects. VDC integrates design, construction, and project management processes to improve collaboration, coordination, and decision-making throughout the project lifecycle. In VDC, project teams use virtual models to simulate and analyze construction processes, identify potential conflicts or issues, optimize project sequencing, and visualize the final built environment before construction begins. By leveraging advanced digital tools and techniques, VDC enables stakeholders to explore design alternatives, evaluate construction methods, and enhance project outcomes in a virtual environment.

VDC uses 3D modeling, simulation, and visualization tools to plan, design, and construct buildings virtually before physical construction begins.

VDC enhances coordination, reduces errors, improves communication, and enables stakeholders to make informed decisions early in the project.

3. Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR):

AR and VR technologies provide immersive experiences that allow stakeholders to visualize and interact with digital models in a realistic and interactive way.

AR and VR enhance stakeholder engagement, design review processes, client presentations, and construction planning by offering a more intuitive and immersive experience.

4. Drones and UAVs:

Drones and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are used for aerial surveys, site inspections, progress monitoring, and data collection in construction projects.

Drones provide real-time data, aerial imagery, and 3D mapping that improve project visibility, safety, and decision-making for stakeholders.

5. Internet of Things (IoT):

IoT technologies connect physical devices and sensors to the internet, enabling real-time monitoring, data collection, and analysis of building systems and construction processes.

IoT enhances building performance, energy efficiency, maintenance management, and occupant comfort by providing valuable insights to stakeholders.

6. Cloud Computing and Collaboration Platforms:

Cloud-based platforms enable stakeholders to store, share, and collaborate on project data and documents in a centralized and secure environment.

Cloud computing enhances communication, document management, version control, and access to real-time project information for all stakeholders.

7. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML):

AI and ML technologies analyze large datasets, optimize workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and provide predictive insights to stakeholders in the AEC industry.

AI and ML improve decision-making, risk management, cost estimation, and project performance by leveraging data-driven intelligence.

By leveraging these new digital technologies, real estate developers and project stakeholders... can enhance coordination, collaboration, and integration in AEC projects, leading to improved efficiency, productivity, and project outcomes in the 21st century.
