Today marks the publication of ‘BIM for Landscape’, the first book of its kind to focus on the implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) processes in landscape and the external environment.
BIM is a process that will model all data relating to the design, costs and sustainability of a project from design through construction and operation. It will bring the practice of simulation and prototyping for the first time into landscape architecture, saving money and leading ultimately to better designs. The UK is a world leader in this field and the key objective is a 20% reduction in capital costs from the construction and operation of the built environment. It heralds a new chapter in inter-disciplinary relationships.
