Biography

Chi Zhang acquired a master degree of Architecture from Southeast University in China, 2012. His research interests include building information modeling, building process and industrialized building systems. From October in 2012, he started his PhD project “An integrated framework for model subset definition and information management in building industry” in Eindhoven University of Technology.

Research

Among various BIM-applications from different domains, a vendor-neutral model as IFC is necessary for information exchanges in order to interoperate proprietary models. However, the richness and redundancy of the full IFC model have made a threshold for its deployment. On the one hand, application developers need reduced size of the full model to facilitate implementation. On the other hand, in real projects end-users demand that received models should fulfill their requirements for particular exchange scenarios.

This project is going to develop an integrated information management system based on model subsets definition to solve these two problems. The overall methodology is based on a buildingSMART standard named IDM-MVD approach. Based on an original ontological concept library on the domain of facade design and fabrication as an example, the contribution of this project is to develop an integrated system which can be used by non-IFC experts to support generating and reusing model subsets for software developers, and checking and retrieving information for domain end-users. This system will be developed based on the existing IFC repository BIMserver.org.
