The document discusses the potential for gamification in building information modeling (BIM). It presents examples of how BIM tools and workflows could be gamified, including through points, badges, leaderboards and competitive or collaborative gameplay. The document also references theories of assemblage and nomadic information to discuss how gamification could transform BIM into a more creative and collective process.
