The opening statements of the article explain the complexity of the architecture profession. "One would think it is straightforward supply and demand system- skills should be taught in school to meet the needs of the profession". As an architecture student, I believe that one must keep themselves up to date with technology and continue to think abstractly because that is how progress is made in our building industry. Old designs can be streamlined and new designs can be reinvented. Although they may teach us the basic tools of drafting and presentation, it is up to the architect to innovate their building until it meets its ultimate potential. As classes evolve to include BIM it is unsure how it would affect students to introduce them to the software early. I agree that it is a sophisticated tool but I believe it needs to be introduced as early as possible so that students can master the program prior to graduation and have the ability to enter to industry without worrying about taking additional time to fully learn the program. "There are promising experiments into ways of working that challenge traditional practice in pursuit of all three elements of the tripartite goal--better, faster, and cheaper; but an evolutionary leap in design thinking--commensurate with technological advances--is sorely needed. I agree with Cheng, Architects need to have full access to BIM, and take advantage of its ability to help reach the goals of all but In order to do this everyone must understand BIM and be comfortable collaborating completely in 3D interface. Representation, design, construction and practice have evolved to be demonstrated completely in BIM, education of new students must reflect this. BIM users will be more reflective as architects and will have the ability to see beyond "whats fixed". BIM will allow architects to question what is completed and easily make changes to improve what was thought to be acceptable. I enjoy using BIM because as the article stated it is similar to building a physical model, which I enjoy doing. Models help me understand the possibilities of BIM because just as I can remove parts of my building to reveal another layer, BIM can do so as well with even more complex detail. One problem with BIM is it is possible that architects will be confused by the representation on the software vs. how it will look in real life. Mistakes can easily be overlooked as  James Cutler stated, "There's nothing more capable of making my employees stupid than Auto Cad, because they can draw something two-dimensional and it looks right to them, but they're not seeing three-dimensionally." But overall I believe architects will become better with the information BIM offers, It will help them stay informed and help them create adaptive decisions in a timely manner.
