The primary goal of the IAI has been to develop an integrated object-based
building-data model containing information aboutall aspects of a building
throughout its lifecyle, which can be used to support interoperability among
discipline-specific applications . This integrated model is called IFC (Industry
Foundation Classes) and is currently in its third release--2x.

Modelo de Datos de una Edificacin

La Geometra es solo una mas de las propiedades (atributos) de los elementos del
Proyecto.. asi aunque la interfaz para crear el modelo es principalmente grfica,
se reduce la primacia de la geometra
El Modelo de datos se enfoca en objetos del proyecto (edificaci n) y las relaciones
entre ellos (e.g. puerta anclada a un muro)
El modelo se vuelve rico en informacin acerca del Edificio mis mo y pueden
extraerse datos para varios propsitos (e.g. documentacin, visualizacin, anlisis)
Los objetos del proyecto (edificio) son descritos solo una vez en el modelo de datos
(puede ser visto en planta, elevacin, isomtrico, etc)
El modelo se vuelve siempre consistente (no se dibuja/redibuja cada vista con el
riesgo de error que esto implica)
Cualquier cambio en el modelo se refleja automticamente en todas las vistas y
tambin en la base de datos con atributos/informacin

At the same time, it is important not to burden the IFC with over-expectations of being
the be-all and end-all of interoperability in the building industry. There are other
methods ofdata integration that allow individual applications to communicate with
each other, such as APIs (Application Programming Interface), other data-oriented
export formats such as ODBC, XML for Internet-based applications , and so on. The
IFC mightnot be the best interoperability solution under all circumstances , and
applications mightstill need to develop direct links to some others formore efficient
communication and tighter integration. Also, seamless integration of a suite of
commercial applications based on the IFC formathas not yet been demonstrated,
except for carefullymodeled test projects , indicating that the effort hasn't yet reached
the point where it is ready for mass consumption. However, it is definitely something
to watch out for because once it works fully as envisioned, its integration capabilities
and collaborative benefits can go a long way towards eliminating the inefficiencies
and waste in the building industry.

La interoperabilidad a traves de cualquiera de sus

La Interoperabilidad es una realidad accesible en el

desarrollo de aplicabilidad en el futuro lejano?
Dados los altos niveles de fragmentacin es un buen
comienzo en direccin hacia la
integracin.dependera de nosotros seguir
esa direccin o no.

CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS & FEATURED SPEAKERS

2004: The Year the Universe Changed for the Construction and Building Industry
Many exciting events have occurred this year that have had and will have a profound effect
on our efforts to integrate and automate this industry. The NIST interoperability study was
published and noted that the cost of inadequate interoperability in the U.S. capital fa cilities industry
is $15.8 billion per year. The U.S. General Services Administration has announced that,
starting in FY2006, they will require contractors to submit IFC -based building information
models in support of all national office concept reviews. FIATECH has brought together
hundreds of technical experts from across the industry to develop a research, development and
deployment agenda for achieving integration and automation in the most efficient and organized
way possible. The U.S. Federal Facilities council will hold a wo rkshop to use this Roadmap as a
way to identify common issues and identify specific programs and projects that they want to pursue,
and the U.S. National Science Foundation will have a workshop bringing together leading
academics from around the world to review the Roadmap agenda so that NSF can provide
funding to universities to help us pursue it. Lastly, a growing number of companies, agencies, and
industry associations are recognizing the need to work together and are using the Roadmap as a
way to do that. This panel will be an open, facilitated discussi on of these events and what they
mean for FIATECH and the industry.

State of the AEC industry: BIM Implementation slow, but inevitable
H.Edward Goldberg
The GSA and its BIM Mandate
In December 2003, the GSA (General Services Administration; www.gsa.gov) issued
internal guidelines to its regional staff stressing the need for on-time, under-budget
project deliveries in the capital construction program. It determined that new and
emerging technologies such as 3D/4D and BIM have the potential to dramatically
improve the outcome of projects and improve customer satisfaction.
As a result, earilier this year GSA/PBS solicited information on the use of IFC-based BIM
technology from all firms in the design, construction, facilitymanagement and real
property industries. According to GSA/PBS, the information will be "used to assist the
governmentin establishing potential sources in the marketplace with knowledge and
experience in the use and practices of this state-of-the-art technology."
GSA has indicated that, beginning in July, the delivery of IFC-based BIM will be required
for the preliminary design phaseof all new fiscal year 2006 projects .

Introduction
Building information modeling is Autodesks strategy for the application of information
technology to the building industry. Building information modeling solutions have three
characteristics:
(1) They create and operate on digital databases for collaboration.
(2) They manage change throughout those databases so that a change to any part of the
database is coordinated in all other parts.
(3) They capture and preserve information for reuse by additional industry-specific applications.
The application of building information modeling solutions results in higher quality work, greater
speed and productivity, and lower costs for building industry professionals in the design,
construction, and operation of buildings.

This paper discusseshow the use of information technology in the industry has led to the idea of
building information modeling and the characteristics and benefits of building information
modeling solutions.

While the term "building information modeling"

had not yet been coined at the time the design of
the Eureka Tower gotunderway in 1998, FKA
had committed to the use of ArchiCAD which
offered the 3D object-oriented, database-driven
approach to building design they were looking to
implement.

(15641616). The Oxford Shakespeare. 1914.

Romeo and Juliet

Act II. Scene II.
Its only your name that is my enemy;
You are yourself, not even a Montague.
What's Montague? It is not a hand, or a foot,
Or an arm, or a face, or any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
Would smell as sweet if it had any other name.
So Romeo, if he wasnt called Romeo, would
Retain that dear perfection which he has
Without that title. Romeo, throw your name
away;
And for that name, which isnt part of you,
Take all of me.

No es ms que su nombre es mi
enemigo;
Usted mismo es, ni siquiera un
Montague.
Qu es "Montague?" No es una mano,
o un pie,
O un brazo o una cara, o cualquier otro
Pertenecer a un hombre. O, ser otro
nombre!
Qu hay en un nombre? lo que
llamamos una rosa
Olera igual de dulce si tuviera otro
nombre.
As que Romeo, si l no se llamaba
"Romeo", sera
Conserve la perfeccin querida que
tiene
Sin ese ttulo. Romeo, lanzar lejos su
nombre;
Y por ese nombre, que no es parte de
ti,
Toma todo de m.
