3D Semantics AIM Framework ConclusionIntroduction
Possible usage of the architectural information
• Architectural Memory (Architectural Memory):
a global repository of general and specific knowledge concerning architecture and construction
• Virtual Simulation & Calculation (VSC):
calculation of load-bearing capacities, energy-efficiency, etc.• Virtual Reality – Visual Simulation (VRVS):
interactive visualisation tools allow optimal real-time interaction with the information
