e-BIM: The methodology of information modeling in a "result" economy Paperback – November 30, 2020

What is BIM?Are we really sure we know how to give the correct answer?What would happen if we moved beyond the design silo?Do we still want to deal with data or are we ready to be masters of their transformation into information?Do we have the right mastery of the great topic of interoperability?What would happen if by overturning the common creed we all suddenly found ourselves decidedly more competent and capable of dealing with complexity?What if it turns out that we can do much more without underestimating the real significance of the matter?This book allows you to answer all these questions, proposing e-BIM, a completely new vision of the meaning and scope of BIM.A much broader approach than the one that is currently taking root, and which opens up scenarios of possibilities and opportunities such as to allow the achievement of decidedly different economic objectives, many times higher than those in which we are currently called to participate.The discussion moves from the need for the matter to be completely freed from the close link with parametric 3D modeling, to instead connect to the economic model for the guarantee of results.And it is precisely this different perspective that allows us to understand the extraordinary scope of the book, a valuable reading for a vast audience and not only for the more strictly technical figures.The book is written in the form of a journey (on a sailing boat for the reasons that will be explained) which is based on three fundamental cornerstones:the instrumentsknowledgeand the visionAfter the introduction, the chapter “Provisions for the trip” is full of all the tools considered necessary to be truly ready to board. The chapters "the world", "the market", "the context" and "the future" then represent the journey through "knowledge".This brings us to the "e-BIM" chapter which is the heart of the scientific-theoretical definition of the new vision of BIM.In this part, the book represents a 360-degree treatment of the subject with implications of technique and management of the life cycle of buildings, but also of economics and finance more directed to economic policy.Finally, "the vision", which takes place in two moments.That of "where we are" in which the most critical factors present in our country are analysed, such as: the economic paradox in the total cost of the life cycle; the state of deterioration of the built heritage; the serious problem of soil consumption and our atavistic inability to exploit that priceless resource which is our cultural, historical and artistic heritage.That of "where can we go" in which the concrete actions necessary for the real application of the topics covered are presented.Among the possibilities that emerge from the new vision of BIM there are, in particular, that of the implementation of the circular economy, demonstrating once again that BIM refers to the entire life cycle of the building, and that of "the plan" , a real project for the generation of econometric models, resulting from the application of the information modeling methodology, for an economic policy intervention that is a herald of transforming the value of Italy's natural, historical and artistic heritage, finally implementing an ability to create a renaissance of the economy.With prefaces by Daniele Di Fausto (CEO of eFM) and Fred Kloet (Owner of SWPi), the book will be released together with the formation of an e-BIM discussion group of the same name, active on the Linkedin social network service, through which readers will be able to discuss and share the topics covered.
