# ifc-data-horse 🐴

|
|
|
> **"There are no wheels yet, but the thing is running"**
|
|
|
|
## [TL;DR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TL%3BDR)
|
|
|
|
**This project explores [IFC5](https://github.com/buildingSMART/IFC5-development) and [Native IFC collaborative worklows](https://github.com/buildingSMART/IFC5-development/issues/2) based on Git.**
|
|
|
|
## Meet the Team
|
|
|
|
* **[Milovann Yanatchkov](https://rvba.fr/my_en.html)** : bug-hunter, aec-free-rider, associate-professor, kebab-case-lover.
|
|
* **Artem Igumnov** : civil-engineer, aec-ice-breaker
|
|
|
|
## The Challenge
|
|
|
|
* [AEC/O Hackathon 2025 Munich Edition](https://www.tum-venture-labs.de/events/aeco-hackathon-2025/)
|
|
* [Problem statement](https://github.com/vyzn-tech/ifc-data-bus?tab=readme-ov-file#problem-statement)
|
|
|
|
## Problem Statement
|
|
|
|
* Architects and planners rely on a **broad ecosystem of software tools**,
|
|
* yet **poor data integration between these tools creates major bottlenecks** in the design process.
|
|
* This fragmentation prevents holistic project optimization and slows down coordination.
|
|
|
|
### Data Stream
|
|
|
|
* Although **OpenBIM** ✅ aims to support **interoperability**, it still lacks robust mechanisms for
|
|
|
|
> **bi-directional data exchange** ✅
|
|
|
|
* —particularly when it comes to **re-integrating data into CAD and CDE environments**.
|
|
* **Existing initiatives often do not prioritize full OpenBIM compliance**, leaving a clear opportunity for alternative, standards-aligned solutions.
|
|
|
|
### 'Flat Modules' vs 'Monolithic Blob'
|
|
|
|
> At the same time, the emerging **modularized and layerized IFC5** standard ✅
|
|
|
|
* introduces new capabilities for more flexible, **fine-grained**, and machine-friendly data handling.
|
|
* These advances open the door to **new workflows** built around decentralized, **event-driven data exchange** rather than **monolithic file transfers**.
