ABSTRACT

Since obtaining his diploma in 1984, architect–engineer Koenraad Nys has concentrated on the development and application of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the field of construction. Armed with his great experience in this field after 15 years at STAR-APIC, where he developed CAD and GIS software and BIM applications before the term was even coined, Koenraad Nys set up his practice, The Dimensions-Studio, in 1999. It now concentrates on the integration of 4D/xD and project management. The Dimensions-Studio is currently involved in several ICT and research projects, as well as with BIM working groups. He teaches at Saint Luc Grand-Bruxelles University, as well as at various other European architectural institutes.
