<p>Building Information Modeling methodology is the current interest for many didactic programs around the world. May be the Master program can be an opportunity to understand the whole BIM concept in the AEC industry. In the Master BIM in Pisa, Italy we are teaching an approach that is not only “tech”. In the Building Information Modeling methodology, the digital representation receives a new strategic task in the world of construction: reducing the gap between the “res aedificanda” and its simulation via object-oriented graphics. Developing research on this way means to offer new powerful opportunities to re-think the link between “the fact” and “its representation”. There is a strong link between graphics approach and cognitive paradigms in design architecture. If the Building Information Modeling could be an answer for the actual needs of the world of AEC, digital design in BIM becomes the way to think the whole project “as one”. In the BIM graphics environment, the digital drawing changes the sign in ontology. To sum up, we are moving beyond vision to "experience" the design before it is built: we design the constructive ontology according to our experience of the “fabrica”. Modeling the interaction means represent the process through the time.</p>

Zusammenfassung Die Unfallhäufigkeit auf deutschen Baustellen ist mehr als doppelt so hoch als in den übrigen Wirtschaftszweigen. Unfälle ereignen sich unter anderem aufgrund von Versäumnissen in der Identifikation von unsicheren Arbeitsbedingungen, bevor ein Arbeitsprozess ausgeführt wird. Die modellbasierte Arbeitsweise in der Bauindustrie ist ein Trend, der sich in den vergangenen Jahren mehr und mehr durchsetzt. In diesem Zusammenhang wird oft der Begriff Building Information Modeling (BIM) verwendet. BIM baut auf dem Konzept der 3D-Modellierung durch die Einbeziehung nicht-grafischer Objektdaten in das Modell auf. Bauwerksinformationsmodelle sind eine vielversprechende Entwicklung im Bausektor und können auch zur Gestaltung sicherer Arbeitsbedingungen genutzt werden. Nur wenige Forschungsaktivitäten weltweit sind bisher auf die Nutzung von Bauwerksinformationsmodellen bei der Identifikation von Gefährdungen von Bauprozessen ausgerichtet. Gegenstand der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Integration der modellbasierten Arbeitsweise in die Prozesse der Gefährdungsbeurteilung. Auf Grundlage von Algorithmen zur systematischen Identifikation und Kategorisierung von Gefährdungen wurde ein Modell entwickelt, das Gefährdungen objekt-, prozess- und umfeldspezifisch identifiziert und in einer objektorientierten Datenbank erfasst. Das vorgestellte Konzept wurde hinsichtlich Anwendbarkeit und praktischer Relevanz an ausgewählten Beispielszenarien nachgewiesen.

Relevance of the research is caused by wide spreading of Building Information Modeling throughout the world for over 20 years. BIM adoption in Kazakhstan was started relatively recently and has not yet come up to common use among design engineers as well as constructors and investors.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility. A BIM is a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle; defined as existing from earliest conception to demolition. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a process involving the generation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of places. BIM are files (often but not always in proprietary formats and containing proprietary data) which can be exchanged or networked to support decision-making about a place. Current BIM software is used by individuals, businesses and government authorities who plan, design, construct, operate and maintain diverse physical infrastructures, from water, wastewater, electricity, gas, refuse and communication utilities to roads, bridges and ports, from houses, apartments, schools and shops to offices, factories, warehouses and etc.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) has become an attention-grabbing topic among researchers and industry players around the world including Malaysia. As the construction industry always plaguing with issues related to massive waste generated from construction and demolition process, encouraging BIM implementation is considered as one of the available technology-based alternatives to encounter these issues. BIM is a type of technology that offers the development of construction project before the real construction process, which allows the identification of any issues earlier, throughout the design and planning phases. Currently, numerous researches have been focusing on the benefits offered by BIM to the construction industry. However, there are still several construction players who lack awareness of BIM's contribution, especially towards sustainability. The purpose of this paper is to explore the awareness of contractors in Malaysia on the contribution of BIM towards sustainability, namely economic, environmental and social. A total of 133 contractors from grade G1 to G7 were involved in a survey. The results revealed that majority of the respondents were aware on BIM contributions towards environmental sustainability, besides other two sustainability pillars, economic and social. Thereby, there is a need to educate and provide realistic information to the construction industry stakeholders, as a process to create a better understanding and wider exposure, and to convince them to implement BIM technology.

Cultural heritage conservation and restoration work is a complex process that includes documentation, data collection, interpretation and production. By integrating the BIM (Building Information Modeling) methodology into this process, the concept of HBIM (Historic Building Information Modeling) has been formed. In this article, the progress of this process with the HBIM methodology in the restoration, protection and management studies of cultural heritage buildings and sites requiring collective and holistic work, the evaluation of access to the information obtained, and the provision of interdisciplinary information exchange were analyzed. By using the SWOT analysis method, the opportunities and threats offered by using the HBIM working methodology were evaluated and the strengths and weaknesses of the HBIM technology were determined. As a result of the SWOT analysis, it has been determined that the HBIM application will positively contribute to the heritage structures and increase in the direction of potential opportunities by eliminating the weaknesses.

The construction industry is one of the oldest industries in the world and one that continues to change with client demand. In recent decades, innovation in the construction industry has greatly improved, increasing productivity. Innovation in construction refers to the generation and implementation of new ideas to enhance the performance of construction processes and to gain economic, environmental, and social benefits. Modern innovative digital technologies in construction include application of virtual reality (VR)/augmented reality (AR), blockchain, 3D printing, building information modeling (BIM), and off-site manufacturing. This chapter will explore the application of these innovative digital technologies in construction. It will particularly include recent case studies and examples from the New Zealand construction industry.

Nowadays, Smart Cities are one of the most debated and discussed subjects related to urban development. Various technological and innovative processes are being integrated into society’s everyday life, aiming at fulfilling the new demands for a sustainable growth that is led by the citizens, by and large. In this context, the infrastructure sector figures as one of the most important points to reach that goal. This paper seeks to study the applicability of the Building Information Modeling (BIM), and of the Geographic Information System (GIS) to Smart Cities, highlighting the main potentialities and challenges of the utilization of these processes. The study will be realized through a literature review of the most relevant works, focusing on the integration of technologies and placing the concepts of City Information Modeling (CIM) in the discussion. It is our understanding that the adoption of CIM concepts by city managers, and by the entire construction sector, could be an important step in the development of Smart Cities around the world.
