Building Information Modeling (BIM) in Architectural Education
The use of computer in the creative process of architecture has always been problematic. Thirty years ago it was Christopher Alexander who threatened that the computer and not us was going to design. Now the BIM is at the center of the discussion. Renée Cheng,
Head of the Department of Architecture, University of Minnesota is against BIM as the main part of the curricula in architecture. Paul Seletsky, Digital Design Director of Skidmore Owings and Merrill is in favor. What do you think?

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the process of generating and managing building data during its life cycle. Typically it uses three-dimensional, real-time, dynamic building modeling software to increase productivity in building design and construction. The process produces the Building Information Model (also abbreviated BIM), which encompasses building geometry, spatial relationships, geographic information, and quantities and properties of building components.
