Zur Person
Has earned a Msc Of Arch from the Faculty of Architecture at the Warsaw University of Technology (WUT). Interested in heritage, he is also enhancing his knowledge in architectural heritage and preservation at the Arts Faculty at the Nikolai Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland.
Currently he is working on his PhD in Warsaw University of Technology, on the topic of creating virtual modeling standards for architectural heritage.
He founded the company BIMfaktoria out of his passion for the preservation of monuments and cultural heritage. It started with extensive architectural analyses through inventory taking by means of laser scanning existing monumental structures. With repeatedly enhancing the process of digitizing historic structures, Karol Argasiński has collected a myriad of knowledge when it comes to the approach of how to incorporate historic preservation via point clouds and complex BIM tools such as PointCab, Archicad, Revit or Allplan, gathering years of experience and deepening knowledge, the company has expanded services to include not only complex OpenBIM compliant inventories, but also take part in activities that aim to improve the work of architects and engineers in the AECO industry. By implementing BIM software and openBIM methodologies, but above all by implementing BIM technology processes throughout the project lifecycle. BIMfaktoria digitizes the world around us, transforming what is temporary and fragile into lasting and fascinating experiences, images and animations. He is also an exclusive partner for PointCab GmbH in Poland.
As sharing knowledge is a core value, he is an Academic Lecturer in ZIGURAT Global Institute of Technology, during Master’s in Global BIM Management and Construction Project Management where he shares his views on BIM Implementation, Common Data Environments and OpenBIM methods of work.
He is also a Co-Editor in BIMe Initiative creating the polish version of BIM Dictionary.
He is a GRAPHISOFT Certified BIM Manager and Certified ArchiCAD Professional. Through his experience he is developing and actively teaching software techniques and works with companies on introducing them to the OpenBIM world by implementing software and methods of work being also buildingSMART Polish Chapter members working in the Educational Room.
Currently, he is a research assistant in AI Hochschule Mainz – University of Applied Sciences.
