Editing Home of OSArch

The Open-Source Architecture Community brings together like-minded users and developers who share a common goal: that the built environment can be designed, constructed, operated, and recycled with '''free software''', increased '''transparency''', and a more '''ethical''' approach.

We encourage the community to share what they're working on, use more free software in what is currently a proprietary-dominated market, and learn more about what's out there.

For community discussion, visit the [https://community.osarch.org/ OSArch Community] and read about our [[Monthly Meetup]].

= AEC resource directories =

We have a growing list of [[AEC Free Software directory|Free Software]], help us expand it and browse for interesting solutions.

[[AEC Open Data Standards Directory|Open Data Standards]] allow different software packages to communicate, here's where you can read about them.

[[AEC Open Data directory|Open Data]] is great for testing and experimenting so we're collecting link to these resources.

There are plenty of [[AEC academic paper directory|Academic Papers]], [[AEC articles|articles]] out there relevant to this project. Help us grow the lists.

We also have some [[Featured images]] with impressive pictures of Free Software in action.

= OpenBIM and IFC =

[[Industry Foundation Class (IFC)]] is the main data schema for BIM data. See all pages in the [[:Category:IFC|IFC category]]

MicroMVDs are subsets of the IFC data schema for specific purposes

There are articles related to [[Using MicroMVDs for exchange requirements]]. With examples for [[Project setup MicroMVD|project setup]], [[Geolocation MicroMVD|geolocation]], [[Element classes MicroMVD|element classes]], [[Naming MicroMVD|naming]], [[Material MicroMVD|materials]] and [[COBie MicroMVD|COBie]]
