Building Information Management (BIM)

Building Information Management (BIM) refers to the practice of organizing project design information using a computerized relational database. Heretofore challenging due to the graphical nature of architecture-engineering projects, BIM has been enabled by advances in computer graphics software that incorporate relational database functionality into the design and production drawing process.

Purchased by Autodesk in 2003?, Revit is arguably the market leader in BIM technology.

The mission of WikiArchitectural is to provide a comprehensive, topical, user-definable web-based reference for the practitioners of architecture who design the world's buildings.

In the early content building phase, this site will be developed as a blog. To maintain alphabetical organization, topics will date and time-stamped according to the table below. Going forward, the knowledge base will be updated to a collaborative wiki format alphabetically sorted by topic.
