BIM for Landscape

Ramzi Hassan

Marius Berg Bostadløkken finished a Master study on the subject of BIM (Building Information Modelling) for Landscape.

By 2010 Statsbygg (Public Construction and Property Management Department in Norway) will demand the use of BIM in all their projects. This applies not only to buildings, but also the landscape around them. Being one of the biggest contractors in Norway this will to a great extent influence the business. A Master study by Marius Berg Bostadløkken under supervision of Ramzi Hassan completed at the Department of Landscape Architecture and Spatial Planning, Norwegian University of Life Sciences (UMB).
