Abstract

Through theoretical analysis and case study, this paper discusses that BIM technology can optimize the design of landscape architectural projects and make the landscape architectural design more reasonable. BIM’s landscape architecture also demonstrates how BIM can enhance collaboration with other professional designers and customers, streamline information processes, and improve decision making. BIM delivers well-designed landscape projects on time, schedule, and budget. This article focuses on exploring and studying the organizational, technical, and professional practices of BIM adoption. And it discusses in detail the standards, structures, and information flow that form the BIM-compliant workflow, highlighting the new working methods that landscape design professionals need in BIM. It also delved into the digital tools used in BIM projects, emphasizing the “information” in building information models. And the possibilities offered by landscape-rich models in landscape design, maintenance, and management.
