BIM has the potential to enhance the collaboration between designers and the public by providing access to the building's data from the preliminary design state until construction, and life cycle. This can foster a more inclusive and participatory design process that takes into account the needs and perspectives of the community, leading to more socially conscious designs.

This podcast aims to investigate the potential and viability of BIM and public collaboration in the early stages of the design process. By exploring the use of BIM and social media to engage the public and gather feedback during the schematic design phase, this podcast will seek to determine whether this approach can lead to more socially conscious designs that better meet the needs of the community. Additionally, this podcast will explore the role of other technologies in supporting public engagement in the design process, such as virtual and augmented reality.
