In the buildings of the future, lights will turn themselves on as people enter rooms, and off as they exit. Doors will open only for a face they recognize electronically. And walls will shift to create different-size rooms. The building of the future will also be faster and easier to construct.
The key enabler of these buildings is a digital tool that promises to revolutionize the building process and the final product. Building Information Modeling (BIM) centers on a digital version of a scale model, which allows architects, contractors, and customers to design and build more efficiently.
