BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING AND SMART CONSTRUCTION

Ph credits: Lunar Residence Project

With the digitalization of our industry, our way of working is also shifting towards a connected environment where our project’s data can be shared with all involved parties effortlessly. This new way of working also introduces new challenges, like how to collaborate effectively within a company, but also how to set up effective data sharing strategies between different actors in the project.

From architecture studios to on-site contractors, the need to send project data efficiently throughout the entire project lifecycle has never been more pressing. The main goal of this course will be introducing the students to effective collaborative patterns and strategies that will enable successful data sharing and interoperability workflows.
