Description: Technology is transforming the way in which architect's practice. Trends toward building information modeling and integrated practice demand more effective processes in the management of building information, which includes the physical and functional characteristics of a building and its related life-cycle information. Even on a small scale, the amount of information required to satisfactorily design, construct, and operate a building is voluminous. This information may include existing conditions, building codes, reference standards, products, and building performance. Accumulation and management of building information begins when the architect first interviews a client and must be organized so that is can be easily stored, retrieved, and manipulated within the building information model throughout a facility's life-cycle.
A common misconception is that building information modeling is simply a 3-dimensional graphic model of a building; in fact, the graphic model is only one component of the building information. This presentation will examine how building information in written and graphic form can be linked through the use of data tags to identify properties of objects. The discussion will include philosophy for classifying, organizing, and using building information and explore collaboration tools available to support the evolution of information into essential knowledge.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the evolution of building information in the life-cycle of a facility and how Building Information modeling is changing how architects practice.
- Learn methods of classifying organizing, and retrieving building information.
- Examine where technology and the industry will drive the need for building information knowledge in the future, including what is being proposed in the National Building Information Model Standard.
- Explore collaboration tools for development and maintaining building information and the outlook on new tools that are being created.
