About BIM

BIM is an acronym for Building Information Modeling or Building Information Management. It is a highly collaborative process that allows
architects, engineers, real estate developers, contractors, manufacturers, and other construction professionals to plan, design, and
construct a structure or building within one 3D model

Once complete, Dubai’s Museum of the Future will take shape in a form so futuristic that its designers had to ensure it was
actually possible to implement. Working with Bur Happold engineering services and BAM International construction,
Architecture firm Killa Design designed a dazzling combination of art, engineering, and construction.

The firm created immersive visualizations
