This review explores the book, Building Information Modeling: BIM in Current and Future Practice, which brings together many of the leading academics and researchers in the field of AEC technology writing about some of their current BIM-related research. It is published by Wiley and edited by Karen Kensek and Douglas Noble, who are both long-time faculty at the University of Southern California (USC) and actively involved in academic research and teaching. While most of the book’s 26 chapters come from academia, there are a few contributions from the industry as well. After a brief overview of the content of the book, the review explores its relevance to practicing AEC professionals as well as the integration—or lack thereof—between the industry and academia in the AEC technology field.
