This study
explores the potential of Building Information Modeling (BIM) to serve as a
bridge between architecture and civil engineering, focusing particularly on
current challenges such as interdisciplinary misalignment, issues of
standardization, and the limited fulfillment of sustainability goals. The aim
is not only to describe the present state of BIM but also to propose future
research perspectives, offering a guiding framework for both academia and
industry. The methodology is based on an extensive literature review and the
examination of current research trends. In doing so, debates in the literature
are compared with research-oriented tendencies, resulting in a thematic
analysis. The analysis was structured around five key themes: (i)
interdisciplinary collaboration and data sharing, (ii) sustainability and
environmental impacts, (iii) new production technologies and BIM integration,
(iv) cultural heritage and adaptive reuse, and (v) regional approaches and
application differences. The interconnections among these perspectives were
highlighted, emphasizing BIM’s holistic capacity to link diverse areas of
research. The findings indicate that BIM enhances interdisciplinary
communication, contributes to sustainability goals, provides a critical
integration platform for new production technologies, and offers an effective
method for preserving cultural heritage. However, gaps in standardization, institutional
adaptation challenges, and cost barriers limit its global dissemination and
adoption. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that BIM is not merely a
technical tool but a strategic platform for interdisciplinary collaboration and
sectoral transformation. The proposed research perspectives thus provide a
valuable reference framework for both academic inquiry and professional
practice.
