BIM Software and Its Evolution

The video introduces Building Information Modeling (BIM), a technology for managing construction projects using virtual models. It covers the history of BIM tools, from early developments by Chuck Eastman and Jonathan Ingram to modern software like ArchiCAD and Revit. The video also discusses BIM standards, such as ISO 19650, and its applications across various disciplines. Finally, it highlights resources for further learning through Parametric Academy.
