BIM won't turn anyone, especially architects into a 'master builder', simply because the current educational system does not teach cross over of subjects.

Pretty much every graduate comes out of Uni with a basic knowledge of a small field in which they're tutors are interested, this is not just architecture courses.
The industry talks a load of flannel all the time about 'partnering' and the 'team' etc, yet each discipline just focusses on its own niche due to mono-directional education.

There may be value in making the 1st year of architecture like a typical HND Building course that a building college would have run, then architects would have a basic knowledge of how other disciplines work and can then talk to them on a more even footing.

You can't become a master builder if you don't understand how to build.
