Purpose
·1 min read
This blog came about with the purpose of documenting and organizing everything I happen to be reading, researching, studying, developing, writing, producing — in short, learning — about BIM and all related subjects. I really liked the definitions that the Priberam Dictionary associates with the word purpose, because they are closely related to the work of architects, engineers, and designers in general, and in my view they should be remembered and repeated like a mantra every day, so that we never forget that good change only comes from good purpose.
