Working in partnership, Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg (KZA) and the Carleton Immersive Media
Studio (CIMS) propose the development of a novel, hybrid digital platform that brings
together the progressive community development initiatives of KZA with CIMS’ established
research record in the field of building information modelling (BIM). The research
challenges involved in the development of a comprehensive BIM for KZA are considerable.
First, the physical size of the property, some 18000ha, is well beyond the conventional
scale of a BIM. Secondly, the complexity and scale of the assets that KZA plan to
incorporate through the BIM (community archival information, data related to infrastructure,
existing GIS, planning proposals) challenge the parameters of current best practice for
BIM. We propose a hybrid BIM/GIS (geographic information system) that integrates new
and existing 2 and 3 dimensional data through an interoperable viewer client.
