BIM for design – requirements and promises 

[Anotace] The Building Information Model concept allows professionals in the Building & Construction Industry to work together on projects, share information, and maintain a consistent model of the project. The design process however has many phases, each of which has its own characteristics. Does BIM fit all these phases well, or are there special requirements that need to be fulfilled from the technology side and the professionals side? The presentation will focus on these questions, and outline a number of future promises of BIM.
