ItemDescribing structural configurations towards identifying and establishing theoretical foundations for the exploration and understanding of building information modelling (BIM)(Department of Infrastructure Engineering, The University of Melbourne, 2018)As part of a broader enquiry into the theoretical foundations of building information modelling (BIM), this working paper identifies and describes the definitional and terminological considerations attributing to this endeavour. This not only concerns the challenges associated with defining BIM, and the myriad of perspectives from which this can be considered. But it also identifies those types of structures or forms that have been adopted or proposed as a means to understand and frame BIM. Further emphasis is given to examining and distinguishing those structures generally described as frameworks, including when referenced in terms of BIM. Relevantly, and notwithstanding the emergent nature of BIM, there appears to be certain knowledge gaps within the research that highlight the need for terminological and methodological consistency. Arguably the resolution of these are fundamental for future research purposes, but further suppose there is considerable scope for research on BIM frameworks and other theoretical foundations concerning BIM.
