BIM and Integrated Practice: Milestones and Initiatives

Tuesday, October 25, 5:30-7:30 p.m.

Johns Hopkins Downtown Center
10 North Charles Street at Fayette

The future of building design and the construction industry is here.

The change is referred to as Interoperability.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the process.

BIM is a combination of new and improved 3D modeling and database technologies. The United States A/E/C industry is rapidly embracing this technology and the major process change that comes along with it. Architects may recognize the acronym BIM when putting high profile projects like the Freedom Tower, Disney Concert Hall, and San Francisco Federal Courthouse in the same sentence. BIM is being demanded by clients, contractors, and other invested parties at an alarming rate. BIM is here, now.
