Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM) may have obvious implications in the process of architectural design and construction at the present stage of technological development. However, BIM has rarely been really assessed and its benefits are often described in generic terms. In this paper we describe an experiment in which some benefits are identified from a comparison between two design processes of the same airport building, one run in an older CAD system and the other in a BIM based approach. The practical advantages of BIM to airport design are considerable.
