SSSI YP BIM Webinar Series: Part 2 @ Webinar

This month in the second instalment of our BIM webinars, we will be hearing from Professor Sisi Zlatanova of UNSW Built Environment about 3D mapping of the real world, the growing number of applications that require 3D representations of buildings and their surroundings, and how by modelling what is happening indoors, in our public buildings, in our offices, hospitals and schools, we can work on myriad ways to make our environment more pleasant, more secure and more sustainable.

Professor Zlatanova will be looking at how BIM intersects with and impacts the built environment, urban planning and related fields.
