"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

MK7 – Reading tips

As you might have seen on social media, for our seventh edition of the MasterKeen for BIM specialists we have an extraordinary enrollment, this semester: 45 students. This is clearly not going to stop my brave ringmaster, Simone Pozzoli, who’s leading the course program. For my module teaching BIM I have lots of new things cooking (of course we’ll face the ISO 19650 with a brave smile on our faces), and of course you know that I can’t share all of what I’m doing in that course, but I can share something. As I did for MK6 and MK5, I am giving students a little assignment focusing on a title of their choice. They can:

  • read a book;
  • watch a movie;
  • watch a tv series;
  • play a videogame;
  • listen to a concept album.

Yeah. I’ve added music.

Their choice will result in three customized lessons, specifically tailored, on tangent topics of digitization, technology and innovation.

Eager to know what they’l choose, meanwhile I share with you the selection of titles. Enjoy!

Alexis Wright‘s Carpentaria, an epic work set in a fictional town called Desperance, opens before there are any people in it at all: an ancestral serpent, “a creature larger than storm clouds,” descends from the stars and drags itself across the wet clay of the

But for pursuit of virtue and of knowledge

I’m sure you’ve read enough analysis of Nolan’s Odyssey to last a lifetime, and you don’t need another European ranting that he changed stuff, so I’m not going to. Instead, I’d like to talk about the movie in itself, as an independent work, granting the
