In this 6-page white paper, Skema co-founder Marty Rozmanith—one of the original minds behind Revit—challenges the AEC industry’s long-held assumptions about BIM as a system of record—and offers a new way to think about how design knowledge is captured, reused, and evolved.
What’s Inside The case for replacing brittle BIM archives with living design intelligence Why Design Catalogs represent a fundamental shift in how firms build knowledge How interoperable toolchains are redefining speed, quality, and authorship in design What ethical, firm-first AI looks like—and why protecting your models is a strategic imperative
Many firms rely on Revit as their system of record. But buried in those static models and files is something more valuable than geometry: design intelligence.
It’s time to rethink how we curate and reuse what we already know.
