Building Information Modeling
How cloud integration can unleash its full potential In the building and construction industry, Building Information Modeling (BIM) has revolutionized the way professionals conceive, construct, and manage our built environment. Since its introduction in the 1970s, BIM has evolved from rudimentary 2D digital representations to becoming the backbone of modern construction projects. Today, its significance...
BIM: Into the Future
Looking Forward The concept of building information modeling has existed since the 1970s, although we certainly didn’t recognize it then. That’s when the first software tools developed for modeling buildings started to emerge. Those early applications and the computers needed to run them were expensive, so adoption wasn’t widespread. BIM gradually evolved, though still far...
Sounds Good
Using powerful simulation algorithms, this young and award-winning acoustics software startup from Iceland is making sound visible. No wonder it’s already creating a buzz in the BIM community. For Finnur Pind and Jesper Pedersen, success started inside a dark and windowless basement. Backed by a research grant in 2020 and a free room down in...
Drones in Construction
For decades the construction industry didn’t change much-and then UAV technologies came along Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones, as they are commonly called, are mostly electric-powered aircraft, which do not require a pilot onboard and are used to perform tasks that are either too dangerous for humans to do or too expensive with other...
From Texas to the World
A $10 billion construction project will change the future of energy The task of getting clean, efficient energy created and distributed from Texas to the rest of the world is no small-or easy-task. And certainly not inexpensive. But the future of energy may well depend on the process of liquifying natural gas and shipping it...
