In January 2020, the Birmingham School of Architecture and Design will open its doors to host the 4th International BIM event. This exciting event builds both on the success of previous conferences in 2017, 2018 and 2019.

The BIM in Birmingham 2020 event sets out with a refreshed agenda and a series of themes for speakers to respond to. These themes will permit for a series of topical and important discussions surrounding Building Information Modelling in the built environment. For further information on the themes for the event, please see below.

Event themes includes:

  • BIM virtual vs reality | Does BIM stand up on site?
  • BIM | Can it? Does it? Will it impact climate change? 
  • Project  | BIM

You can find out more information on the event themes here.

As in previous years, the BIM events continue to seek to widen participation and encourage attendance from students, designers, architects, BIM specialists, practitioners and various sized practices. All are welcome to both attend and take part in the presentations.

The BIM in Birmingham series of events is partnered by the aae (association of architectural educators) and with this in mind, we welcome schools of architecture from across the country together with local, national and international practitioners with whom we will exchange knowledge and learning about Building Information Modelling. If you are an academic or student from a school of architecture and would like a group of students to attend or take part, please get in touch.
