First things first…
“Digital Twins & GenAI”
There… I said it
GenAI Digital Twins:My Digital Twins:
“Create an image: The scene is a dining table in a suburban home. 17-yr-old twins (girl and boy) are
sitting on opposite sides of the table. They are wearing school uniform, their elbows are on the table,
and they are both looking into their own cell phones. We see their side profiles.”

Use my detailed building
models to understand accessibility and model evacuation planning
See/query
public transit plans and predict capacity
Understand the
impact of a proposal on local heritage
and archaeology
Connect any IoT sensor in my city to other
systems and other physical assets to analyse performance and predict maintenance
Plan a new
building/bridge in context to assess traffic impact
Model human and
traffic movement to assess the practicality of the proposed route
Understand the
impact of tree-planting on urban heat islands
Collaborate with my service
providers across multiple complex projects in my city
…understanding “where” in BIM, AIR, PIR content and deliverables

…going way beyond locating a BIM model on a map
Asking “where?” accelerates business insight
Understand
Where
e.g.
projects
staff
equality
Measure
Size, Shape,
& Distribution
e.g.
resources
stockpiles
waste
Determine
Relationships
e.g.
hazards
constraints
climate
Evaluate
Best Locations
& Optimal Routes
e.g.
congestion
temp blgs
access
Detect &
Quantify
Patterns
e.g.
materials
accessibility
time/cost
Model &
Predict
Outcomes
e.g.
carbon
rehearsals
