Planning to the next level

For as long as I have been involved in the Architectural process of client, site, Planning Reg application, I have worked within a framework of past experience based upon materials and use that has a history stretching into the past well beyond Charles the 1st.

But all of that is changing, a new era approaches, that of the digital age, the unknown effects of sensors, the all most rapid use of data,  almost instant communication, not just between humans, but the blinding speed of communication between machines.

I have been asked to write a paper on HBIM or heritage BIM, its an eye opener, so many opinions from people who do not understand the difference between new materials and those made a few hundred years ago. Wanting me to apply standard values to the BIM table,

They have no understanding of manufacture of a brick just 100 years ago it was a hit and miss approach, and one single length of a wall might have two or three different kiln burnings producing three total different bricks, with totally different values in their day to day operation from strength to lambda to water absorption, not to mention colour and texture.

So my paper will focus on this single strategy, how to add HBIM values to materials that vary so much.

I have a lot of research to do, and little time to do it, so this paper is more like a market study, who is doing what and how.

The audience for this paper are planners, can I drag them into the real world, of CAD and all of the digital extras we as Technologists enjoy.
