GIS and BIM for Architecture, Urban Design, and Planning

The world has become aware of challenges that can no longer be ignored. From our earliest days, humanity has sought to explain the built and natural world with maps. Projections of location and predictions of cosmic and future events helped us understand and make sense of the places around us. Where should we sleep tonight? Where will the hunt go tomorrow? And who do we need to be on the lookout for? These were the questions they needed answered. History's earliest known world map was scratched on clay tablets in the ancient city of Babylon, and the purpose of maps hasn't changed much since. What has changed is how we collect, understand, and act on the information. In other words, today our maps can solve the real challenges we face. Join us as we explore the design process where building information modeling (BIM) and geographic information system (GIS) create a foundation for more socially, environmentally, and economically just environments—where today's technologies create a better tomorrow.
