Welcome to the OSArch WIKI - the resource and workflow database of open and accessible software for the Architecture - Engineering - Construction fields, maintained and developed by professionals actively using these tools for professional work.

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 '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software free/libre software]''' and '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source open-source software]''' with increased '''transparency''', and a more '''ethical''' approach.

We're creating a place where everyone involved in the built environment's conception and life can meet, inspire and collaborate to develop empowering digital tools.

| Open-source software (OSS) is a type of computer software in which source code is released under a license in which the copyright holder grants users the rights to use, study, change, and distribute the software to anyone and for any purpose.

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 Forum] and read about our [[Monthly Meetup]].

A good way to find what's on this site is to browse the directories below and the list of [[:Category:Categories|categories]].

= Overview of open source AEC software =
 +
 
 +
The core of this project is the [[AEC Free Software directory|The AECO Free Software Directory]]. Enjoy browsing our directory for interesting solutions and let us know if you've overlooked anything.
 +
 
 +
See also our featured projects:

= Workflows using open source AEC software =
 +
 
 +
The easiest way to learn about the exciting Open AEC universe and start using these tools is to see some real projects and try the workflows other people are using. The complete list of our workflows is in the [[Workflows using AES FOSS directory]].
 +
 
 +
We are actively looking for examples of real-world projects we can share. Know a project? Get in touch with us on the [https://community.osarch.org/ OSArch forum]!
 +
 
 +
Some of our featured projects:
 +
*[[AECO_Workflow_Examples#Open_Source_House_by_Studiolada | FreeCAD and the Open Source House by Studiolada]]
 +
*[[AECO_Workflow_Examples#The_Mad_Scientists_Lair | BlenderBIM and The Mad Scientist Lair]]
 +
 
 +
= Technical standards and solutions =
 +
 
 +
A lot of the software used in OSArch workflows is based on industry standards which are also defined to be open. You can see the complete list in the [[AEC Open Data Standards Directory|Open Data Standards]].
 +
 
 +
The most important ones right now are:
 +
*[[Industry Foundation Class (IFC)]] is the main data schema for [[OpenBIM]] data. See all pages in the [[:Category:IFC|IFC category]]
 +
*[[Model View Definitions (MVD)]]s and [[Using MicroMVDs for exchange requirements|MicroMVDs]] are subsets of the [[Industry Foundation Class (IFC)|IFC]] data schema for specific purposes See all pages in the [[:Category:Model_View_Definitions_(MVD)|Model View Definitions (MVD) category]]
 +
 
 +
To do tests and experiments with new software a large amount of data is often necessary. [[AEC Open Data directory|Open Data]] is a great resource, so we're collecting links to these.
 +
 
 +
[[Standards organizations]] play an important role in creating the [[AEC Open Data Standards Directory|Open Data Standards]] [[OpenBIM]] relies on
 +
 
 +
[[AEC academic paper directory|Academic Papers]] and [[AEC articles|articles]] out there can help you gain an understanding of the industry and where [[free software]] can play a role in [[AECO]]
 +
 
 +
[[Featured images]] will show you the most impressive visual examples of what [[free software]] can do for [[AECO]].
