BIM: Dimensions of Space, Thought, and Education

Luigi Cocchiarella

Abstract


Much of the aim of present epistemology seems to deal with filling the gap between analogue traditional and digital practices, which for a long time have been considered profoundly opposite, with heavy consequences in terms of integrity of knowledge.

BIM is among the most representative cases in this discussion. Able to integrate and compute several sets of parameters and algorithms, it shows a clear picture of the interdisciplinary opportunities which are connected with by smart use of its devices. It is not by chance that it is expected to be the standard operational format in the fields of Architecture, Engineering, and Design. The quintessence of BIM is in its many dimensions, which are not only digital dimensions, but also dimensions of knowledge.
