BIM Buzz
There is a buzz of activity on BIM at the moment; with the recent launch of the government's BIM strategy influencing presentations at the BuildingSMART meeting this week; and a host of other activities.
Prof Jennifer Whyte's Advanced Institute of Management (AIM) fellowship (2009-2011) focuses on management practices in project-based design work; and how such practices are changing in the digital economy.
Design Innovation Research Centre
Prof Whyte is building research capacity in areas related to the AIM Fellowship through a related exploration group.
