Luigi MIRANDA  ARCHITECT, Turin - Italy Summary Architect with solid scientific background, run my own architectural practice for more than 40years. Since 2014, also as Registered Architect in the UK, at A.R.B. (Architects Registration Board). Strongly believe in the structures as means of space design, and at parametric modelling as means of endless opportunities to explore the architect's best ideas, that are not practically reachable otherwise, to find the optimal solution for the architectural issues. Focused on maximization of the Client’s assets value of which, generally, they are not even aware of. Lately (two years so far) the emphasis is on the BIM Process, following the UK Norms, their Guides and Standards, waiting that, meanwhile, the Italian UNI Rules on the BIM Process, can be finally issued and fully embedded by Architects, Builders and by all others actors involved. Prompt to challenge the BIM Management as BIM Consultant/Manager, for Projects deliveries of which, the three-dimensional Model and its information related, are only a small part of the entire BIM Process.
