Architect with a Master in BIM Methodology applied to engineering. I am creative, investigative and with initiative, I think"out of the box"and continually seek to learn and grow at work within the BIM methodology. I put passion in what I do, I loveinnovation,thecollaborative work, theplanningand theinformation management.I like professional challenges; I assume them withresponsibility and leadership

The RAE tells us that the wordsequentialityComes from latinsequence 'which means continuation', from sequi 'to follow'(We already started with the Romans). The sequence is oneseries or successionof things that have a certain relation to each other, where there iscontinuity.

​

The characteristic that defines asequential processit is the accomplishment of a task that follows another, it is afixed operating scheme.It should also be added that sequentiality is a slow process that has the advantage that it iseasy to understand and implement.

​

This is the way it has been operating.construction sector,with one task after another and with a"established order".Up to this point, the reader will think: “what's wrong with this?”, and actually sequentiality is very positive in many fields such as mathematics, telecommunications, etc., however,on a construction site if a task is delayed, the entire system must wait.This way of working in the sector is vitiated in itself. But before I provoke a crisis of indignation in my dear reader, I ask for the opportunity to explain myself.

​

Do you remember my bold assertion that since the time of the Romans we have not innovated? Well, I was referring precisely to the fact that we are currently working on asequential scheme of the Latin sequentia.Just like the Romans.

​

We design and make plans

We build and modify design and plans during construction. 

​

When I speak of sequentiality, I mean the way in whichthe different participants in a project take part,which was reflected in the story about the "Via Cruxis" of the client from the time the architect was hired until the work was finished and which is described in the post from 2 weeks ago.

​

The previous illustration shows how, thanks to the sequential scheme, each designer/contractor/subcontractor enters and leaves the project at a given time with a very low level of information exchange (or none) with respect to the other participants. Each agent in the project “does his own thing”: he generates his own information, but shares little or nothing with those who participate after him, and he in turn also receives little or no information from the other actors.

Sequentiality does not allow to see the project in its entiretyand, therefore, causes the project to become the result of individual efforts focused on the particular interest of each of the agents.Note that I do not mean that the project is now conceived from the most orthodox of communisms!Nor do I think we should abandon the“galloping capitalism”to be clear! That I already know the languages viperinas and that they will brand me as "red", "left" or, worse still, "AMLOver". The project is clearly a business, and as a business, it must generate profits.

​

What I am trying to say is that the fact that the different actors of the project work for their own benefit is completely legitimate and valid. However, the little commitment that exists in the interactions between the agents and in the knowledge of how the tasks of one can affect or benefit the next performer, means that this little coordination and participation as a group affects the project globally andthis is precisely what BIM tries to change.Let's look at the following image:
