Challenges for the new century
Accelerating Changes The complexity of the building process is increasing at an accelerating rate. Climate change and environmental degradation are not merely adding to, but multiplying this acceleration.

Challenges for the new century
Accelerating Changes The complexity of the building process is increasing at an accelerating rate. Climate change and environmental degradation are not merely adding to, but multiplying this acceleration.
Tackling the Challenges BIM offers essential tools to help manage this increasing complexity. But it is only as good as we make it. We need the right people to shape BIM to create quality and value. These people have to think like Architects. Š 2009 by Matthew Lohden
