Digital publication on motivation, the current state of development, project examples, office implementation and remuneration for BIM in building and landscape design

The comprehensive digitalisation of our living and working environments presents the construction industry – which has hitherto been relatively under-digitalised – with entirely new opportunities and potential. Consequently, the Building Information Modelling (BIM) methodology has been developed in recent years. It is fundamentally important to understand that BIM is a process for establishing and managing a central data structure for a building project within a three-dimensional model. – The transition from the two-dimensional, plan-centred world to the three-dimensional, BIM-enabled modelling world requires a paradigm shift towards object-oriented planning.

Development, trends and challenges for the profession

Landscape architecture is facing growing challenges: Climate change, the energy transition and the protection of biodiversity require new solutions and concepts. At the same time, the need for qualified landscape architects is growing, but the shortage of skilled workers is becoming increasingly noticeable. The bdla therefore conducts an annual survey of the number of first-year students and graduates at the 14 universities that offer landscape architecture courses that are eligible for chamber registration. The reported figures provide valuable information on how the profession is developing in terms of personnel. The total figures are now available for the period from 2013 to 2023 inclusive.
