I'm a firm believer in looking at the issue of BIM beyond technique and tools.
Every now and then its great to get a differentf perspective on virtuality and virtual buildings from someone who looks at our issues from a great height and works really, really hard to inculcate them in a future generations of architects.
One such person is Peter Russell, Dean of Architecture at RWTH Aachen. He's a Canadian by birth and has been on message for the past 20 years.
there are a few podcasts here:
