Transition between Architectural Ideation and BIM Towards a new method through semantic building modeling

Faced with the challenges of the actors' coordination regarding the increasing building complexity, the new digital collective approaches of advanced design raise the problem of the transition between collaborative ideation (first creative moments of deployment of ideas) and the following phases of digital production (including the formalisation of building specifications in BIM models). In response, we aim to develop a digitally instrumented method for moving from conventional architectural graphic documents to the 3D digital models characteristic of BIM. We propose here a detailed formalisation of the ideation-BIM transition problem and a method for managing building information to improve this transition.
