Building Information Modeling
Published in Chapter:
A Review of Building Information Modeling Tools from an Architectural Design Perspective
Olcay Çetiner (Yildiz Technical University, Turkey)
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-60566-928-1.ch002
Abstract
Building Information Modeling (BIM) continues to evolve and grow along with its respective application in practice. One of the key advantages of BIM is that it facilitates the development of detailed information and analysis much earlier in the building process to improve decision making and reduce downstream changes. This chapter provides a review on the BIM tools from an Architectural Design Perspective.

Surfing Between Disciplines: Interdisciplinarity of Architectural Digital Heritage
Building information modeling is a process about the whole lifecycle of a building, from project, to construction, maintenance, management and dismantlement. BIM is based on the realization of the 3-D models, where the digital elements are constructive objects (walls, floors, windows, etc.) uploaded from predefined parametrized libraries. The objects relate to a database with the design information that allow structural, energetic, economic, timing, computing. BIM involves the architectural, civil engineering, and plant aspects, and it favors the interoperability between professionals that work on the same model. BIM rises for new building design, but its application to historic architectures (the so called HBIM) presents numerous matters, because it is difficult to reconcile the unique character of historical architecture made with artisan procedures, with parametric 3D objects from standardized libraries and typed databases; interesting solutions rises from the integration of BIM procedures with Visual Programming Language.
