Workshop Description
The main objective of the workshop is to familiarize participants with the notion of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and its application in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. This workshop will explore the raison d'etre of the paradigm shift from the conventional fragmented building lifecycle management process to a model-driven, centralized, and collaborative management philosophy. On this premise, this workshop will try to dispel the myth of BIM being a merely technological tool that streamlines the design practices. Instead, BIM will be introduced as a combination of (1) technological advancements in visualization, information systems, and simulation and (2) process enhancement in how different stakeholders collaborate and communicate throughout the project lifecycle. By introducing these technologies and allowing the participants to have hands-on experience with them, the workshop will provide the opportunity for the participants to explore how information modelling tools can enhance construction management tasks.
