ABSTRACT

The systems and methodologies for building descriptions have improved over many decades ranging from simple sketching to computer integrated models. As a result of changing nature of the work, the systems is driven by more and more collaboration, digital media, interactive devices, mobility and convergence of virtual and physical spaces. Hence the single anticipations not enough to manage, transfer and reuse complexity at present, the answer would be the consideration of partial model definitions to realize standard solutions. The lack of formal, standardized, comprehensive models limit the capabilities and integration of AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) applications, as well as the successful information exchange in construction projects.
