The Evolution of BIM: From 3D Models to Information Management
What we call BIM today is the result of a long evolution; from early object-based 3D models in the 1990s, to data-rich modeling in the 2000s, collaborative processes in the 2010s, and finally structured information management under PAS 1192 and ISO 19650. This article traces how BIM gradually shifted its focus away from geometry and software, toward managing information consistently, collaboratively, and across the entire asset lifecycle.
