Preserving irreplaceable historic structures is an important factor in architecture design studies. The environmental, cultural and economic benefits cannot be overemphasized. We have an obligation to record and preserve the history of each generation because the buildings change with us. Historic buildings are not too complex to benefit from the advantages of building information modelling (BIM). BIM and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) integration serve as a powerful tool useful across the lifespan of a building. RFID tag is a memory storage device for storing a certain amount of data-highly effective in decentralizing information management of historic buildings. The tags are attached to different components of the building that are of historic relevance. This information are accessible wirelessly providing the ability to process large volumes of multiple data sets simultaneously. Historically, buildings have been better and more accurately described in drawings rather than words and BIM is an extension of that process, particularly for existing infrastructure. Where 2D CAD improved on paper drawings by adding the ability to describe a building in layers, BIM and RFID allows the process to be taken further by increasing the efficiency of facility inspection, maintenance and data collection. Rudimentarily, BIM models are used to document historic buildings prior to any development, stabilization or investigative work are conducted in order to record crucial material evidence. Understanding how a building has changed over time is helpful in determining the level of deterioration. Data gained from investigations of a historic building are well documented and fed into RFID tags. In this study, options and decisions necessary to establish a BIM and RFID for recording and preserving historic buildings are discussed along with a case study of Bopiliao Historic Block in Wanhua District, Taipei. As foreign students, when we discorvered the physical, political and social threats on Bopiliao Historic Block, it is evident that it needs saving from various threats because it holds so much of historic value to the community and the country at large. A comprehensive data analysis was conducted to assimilate the current method used in preserving the historic structures.

“…Other efforts, that focus in interoperability of the data model, or the seamless ability to different software exchange information between one another, it must have to deal with the role and complexity in adding semantics inside BIM models [10,27]. This path of development follows in the direction of more analytics in BIM.…”

As the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Facilities Management industry undergoes a profound change with Building Information Modeling (BIM), it seems the right moment to properly re-structure the inherent processes to promote a new wave of innovation. To leverage digital information from each individual project into business value for the whole industry, researchers must borrow knowledge and solutions from computational fields, such as Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Data Mining and Data Science. They will provide a guide to the development, and even transformation of current BIM processes, with potential for development of new tools and automation of many tasks. What is not entirely clear is if BIM could take advantage also from Big Data Analytics, as some professionals are been advocating. In this paper, the author analyzes Big Data problems and the BIM context, and argues that BIM could not immediately take advantage from Big Datainfrastructure. Nevertheless, a route of development is suggested, which extends BIM from its predominantly building-focused models to models that encompass an entire city, which certainly will demand Big Data Analytics. Thus, a new City Information Modeling seems to be the right path of development for BIM as it turns to be integrated with Geographic Information Systems and will lead to tools that would be adequate for future Smart Cities planning and management.

“…Such discrete processes should be well defined in an Information Delivery Manual (IDM) [2], which maps the actors and information exchange requirements of any activities in the processes. Guided by the IDM, a set of Model View Definition (MVD) concepts is compiled to select a subset of the IFC schema and define allowable values at particular attributes of particular data types [3]. The MVD specifies which entities and attributes are mandatory or optional according to the needs of the specific business process.…”

“…The IDM and MVD approach has been used in subdomains like precast concrete construction [3][4][5], building energy analysis [6], and facility management handover [7]. A number of specialized applications have been developed for checking the compliance of IFC instance files to model view definitions [8,9].…”
