Abstract

Building Information Modelling (BIM) provides a detailed 3D geometrical model with rich semantics which go beyond the standard Computer-Aided Design approach. In contrast, Geography Information Science (GIS) offers powerful spatial analytical tools. This paper seeks to propose and innovative research approach integrating some aspects of BIM and advanced GIS analysis. This may lead into beyond state of the art emergency response applications. The advocated research approach would go beyond the simplistic 3D indoor scene representation and instead proposes to automate the generation of navigable models depicting complex interiors readily available in the building industry area which adopts BIM as the main tool for design and information exchange.
