Hi all, as much as everyone else here, I’m thankful for the positive impact on our lives and on our industry of Ian Atkins’s exemplary wisdom, camaraderie and friendship.

I say ‘wisdom’ because, in sharing his knowledge, he was always thoughtful and measured, which is a world away from the thinly-veiled bragging about accomplish that plagues our industry.

As a friend, I was always impressed by Ian’s ability to put everyone at ease and to bring out the best in others.

Surely, Ian was one of the most impactful leaders in BIM and digital design. 

I extend my condolences to his family.

May he rest in peace. 🙏
