Collaborative environments for knowledge sharing: first Building Information Modeling applications for Public Works

Abstract

Nowadays the role of new digital technologies is in constant evolution if compared with the more established practices. They are based on a systemic and relational approach that suggests (or better imposes!) to evaluate the limits and virtues, exploring new collaborative and communicative languages; at the same time, the dissemination of new tool need to be investigated in detail. Moreover, the tendering reform approved by the European Parliament extends the operational horizons of BIM methodologies.
It is intended to give substance to these topics: we will validate the proposed taxonomies through the illustration of some case studies developed through the collaboration with the Building Service of the Politecnico di Torino, which during the last years years invites professionals to attend BIM oriented procurement, according to requirements and best practices adopted in the UK, Europe and North America.
