The real value of BIM, as a method, is partially undiscovered and require deeper understanding of what real potentialities are and how to take advantage of them in the professional activities. More than ever before the collaboration between engineers, architects and technicians is promoted thanks to BIM. On top of this, the construction industry has realized that the main weakness for decades were the lack of effective communication through reliable and timely channels. Naming BIM, the entire design process should be revised, because we should finally accept that the cooperation, communications and sharing are the seminal elements of the success. This paper, starting with these premise, will present and analyze some good examples of BIM designed projects realised recently in Italy, as the Unicredit Pavilion in Milan by Architetto Michele De Lucchi and the Forti HQ in Pisa by ATIproject that marge smart building processes with environmental targets and a new vision for the urban fabric quality.
