Origin Story (Short Myth)
In the age of Many Models, projects fractured into drawings, schedules, and stories that did not speak to each other. From the dust of abandoned folders rose BABOOM, apprentice to Silence, master of Systems. BABOOM studied the language between people and models and learned that confusion is the first monster on every site. With a staff carved from version logs and a lantern fueled by clear decisions, BABOOM set out to bind scattered work into one readable tale per discipline. From that day, BABOOM walked project to project teaching craftsfolk to speak in one voice, warning: “Late truths awaken sleeping monsters.” Then, a gentle seal: LA DA TA.
History and Timeline
- Early Years — The Listener: Observed teams running multiple parallel canons for the same truth. Learned that drafting survives when documentation lives with its model.
- The Single‑Canon Rite: Formalized the practice “One Model, One Canon per Discipline,” preserving sheets and views where they are born.
- The Circle of Communication: Taught that meetings must produce one canonical log with Decision, Owner, Due, and Link.
- The Open Guild: Began sharing short, concentrated tips publicly to demystify BIM, each ending with a risk warning.
- The Journal Era: Settled in the BABOOM Journal to pour wisdom for TBP learners and practitioners.
