BEYOND BIM

“Want we bouwen aan de toekomst,

we leven voor elkaar”

WHAT IS BIM?

WHAT IS BIM?

TECHNOLOGY, OR A PROCESS?

WHAT IS BIM?

HOLY GRAIL:

CONNECTING EVERYTHING TO BIM

Beyond BIM

The backside of the future:

Todays practise

“Voorlopig gaan we nog even door

Op het lichtend pad

het verkeerde spoor”

1998 (?)

“SHARED DATA MODEL”

shared

data

model

COMMON MISCONCEPTION:

Shared data model is NOT equal to:

Shared data(base)

Shared BIM model instance

Shared data model comes from the need to share/distribute data in a

standardized way…. “let’s agree this is a door”

shared data model == creating agreements (interoperability)

SO WHAT IS BIM?

Beyond BIM

BIM == DATA

2012: REPORT

“THERE IS NO CENTRAL MODEL”

(IN A MULTI DISCIPLINE PROJECT)

DENMARK 2006:

NL 2012:

FOUND CONCLUSION:

WORKING (LIVE) IN A ‘CENTRAL’ BIM

HAS MORE DOWNSIDES THAN

ADVANTAGES.

(OWNERSHIP OF OBJECTS, LEGAL ASPECTS,

BIM MANAGER, CHANGE REQUESTS, ETC...)

“CENTRALIZING BIM

STIMULATES WRONG BEHAVIOUR”

THE REAL QUESTIONS ARE:

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO MY JOB?

WHAT DO OTHERS NEED FROM ME TO DO THEIRS?

HOW ABOUT ALL THESE “CLOUD BIM”

PLATFORMS?

“Open API”

“Platform”

“Extendable”

ISLAND!

Comparison of ‘islands’

THE SITUATION

“integration is nót about sitting on the same island”

You can only use the features of your island

No crossing over to the other island for that one cool feature they have!

No integration of features between islands!

BIM BOTS: DECENTRALIZING FEATURES

Niche tools connecting to each other

Getting the data to flow

Connecting the dots!

Beyond BIM

THE BUSINESS

Automating tasks

Individual applications; not dependence on a ‘platform’

Can be closed source / ask money for specific features

Can be more than one per topic (competition)

Is centralized for the bot provider (big data analyses)

This:

Creates a new market for niche appliations (you don’t have to choose an

island anymore; combine features)

Takes advantage of the fragmented nature of the industry

Open approach instead of getting everyone on one island

DATA DRIVEN INDUSTRY

Many many (!) more data in the (near) future

From many different sources

Even ‘shared data model’ will be impossible in the near future

IFC is ‘one’ of the many dataformats

AMSTERDAM ARENA

“Data driven operations”

“Living BIM”

Working with information about traffic information, weather reports, seating

availability, parking gate, beer taps, heating and cooling, automatic doors, fire

system, temperature, waiting lines, video cameras (!), etc...

USING PROPERTIES FROM THE DATA

Using even more properties…

SO…..

Beyond BIM

DON’T HIDE

Many data are available

A holistic system view will be obsolete the moment it is born

There will always be more to link/add/integrate

How about your data?

THINK ABOUT YOUR DATA

AND NO, IT WON’T BE SIMPLE OR EASY
