The limitations of BIM in the architectural process (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Coates, S., Arayici, Y., Koskela, L., Kagioglou, M., Usher, C., & O’ Reilly, K. (2010, December). The limitations of BIM in the architectural process. Presented at First International Conference on Sustainable Urbanization (ICSU 2010), Hong Kong, China

Building Informational Modeling has been suggested by some as the panacea to address the interdisciplinary inefficiencies in the construction industry. In many cases the adoption of BIM has numerous potential benefits. But when considering individual... Read More about The limitations of BIM in the architectural process.

Shaping urban infrastructures: intermediaries and the governance of socio-technical networks (2010)
Book
(2010). S. Guy, S. Marvin, W. Medd, & T. Moss (Eds.), Shaping urban infrastructures: intermediaries and the governance of socio-technical networks. London: Earthscan

Cities can only exist because of the highly developed systems which underlie them, ensuring that energy, clean water, etc. are moved efficiently from producer to user, and that waste is removed. The urgent need to make the way that these services are... Read More about Shaping urban infrastructures: intermediaries and the governance of socio-technical networks.
