Abstract:
Building Information Modeling (BIM) deals with building technologies and techniques that cover the entire lifespan of a building or structure. It allows for building design and documentation (information modelling), as well as the coordination and management of information (information management) that describes the building, its limitations and its performance objectives. This article questions the integration of BIM in the integrated design processes of major architectural and engineering firms. It proposes collaborative action research: ShareLab as a new approach to the appropriation of BIM paradigms. Equipped with various methods of reflection and information collection, the goal of ShareLab use is to collaboratively construct a common understanding of various issues and a shared vision of the stakes at play. This is done in an effort to push businesses into the BIM integration process.
