Hi Guys,

Long-time reader, first time poster.

I am currently undertaking a Master of Architecture in Australia and would like to share my progress and seek feedback over the coming semester.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a topic I would like base my research thesis around.  I am a current BIM user (Archicad) and believe a greater knowledge in this field will give me an advantage in the future.

While we think of BIM as a three-dimensionally based, with current BIM systems there is still a lot two dimensional information required for documentation.  The balancing of 3D aspiration with 2D reality is a continued source of tension amongst my work peers in the office, be this in relation to time efficiency or quality of work, this is an area where I would like to focus my research on.

I hope to work on forming a number of questions based on these ideas to better help me understand the direction I will be taking.  I would be interested to know if others think this topic is viable to base a thesis on, or other paths I should be looking at taking instead,

I look forward to sharing my process with the Archinect world and look forward to all the feedback I receive.

Thanks.
