The Place for Information Models in Landscape Architecture, or a Place for Landscape Architects in Information Models

The Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industries are rapidly adopting Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools that allow not just the modeling of structures, but the processes that drive those structures during and after construction. Architects can model the indoor environmental quality of their building designs based on solar aspect and insulation, local microclimates, and r-values of windows. Engineers model the performances of storm and sanitary sewer networks, dams, bridges, and highways, all under simulated conditions. With the UK’s mandate of BIM adoption in AEC by 2016, landscape architects will have to finally grapple with Information Modeling. Is BIM a silver bullet? Is it a cure for all of landscape architecture’s problems, or is it the one thing that will finally kill landscape architecture off? That comes down to the question “who’s BIM?”
