The Rise of BIM 2.0: Generative, Collaborative, and Cloud-Native Tools Redefining Architecture

The next evolution of Building Information Modelling is here—and it’s more than just a software upgrade.

In this session, we’ll explore the rise of BIM 2.0, a new generation of tools that are reshaping how architecture is designed, collaborated on and shared.

From Generative Design platforms that accelerate feasibility studies, to cloud-native, real-time collaboration environments, BIM 2.0 tools are addressing the limitations of traditional workflows and offering radically new ways to work across disciplines.

This talk introduces leading-edge solutions like Arcol, Snaptrude, Motif, Rayon, Hypar, and Qonic, alongside the emerging wave of AI-assisted, Generative and rule-based design systems.

We’ll examine how these platforms challenge legacy software models, improve coordination, and reduce design friction—especially at the earliest stages of a project.

Whether you're an architect, digital design lead, computational designer, or firm leader, this is your opportunity to understand:

- What defines BIM 2.0 and why it matters now

- The key shifts in software architecture (cloud-native, collaborative, intelligent)

- How emerging tools are improving speed, accuracy, and interoperability

- What this means for your future workflows—and your role in shaping them Join us to rethink how we model, collaborate, and innovate in the built environment.
