The more complicated a design is the trickier it gets to visualize it. The co ordination between the numerous fields involved in the development of a design is a herculean task. It is here when BIM (Building Information Modeling) becomes a metaphorical proposition to the above all. The paper deals with the basic introduction of Building Information modeling (BIM), its scenario in architecture and the classification of various softwares used worldwide. BIM has changed the way industry thinks about how technology can be applied to the design, construction, and management of building projects. BIM is an integrated database of coordinated information to which many participants in the design process contribute. BIM modeling provides for continuous and immediate analysis of project design, scope, schedule, cost information and other matter. Use of BIM enhances the communication and understanding between owner and architect or between architect and others contributing to the design and engineering process.

It's the user who decides the nature and the pattern of activity. The attitude of the user towards a landscape shows his/her conception of the landscape. In a campus the Faculty, students & the staff members are the ultimate users. This paper is based on a research on behavioral aspects of users in open spaces in SRM University. A multilayered methodology is indulged in this research in order to develop reliable results. It includes Direct Impressionistic Observation and Behavioral Mapping studies of key spaces which resulted in finding out key issues based on Imageability, Behavioral variations and Functional variations. The paper concludes that influence of Attitude and Behavioral Patterns of the users in the design of open spaces in a campus design is inevitable. One can recommend infinite ways to improve the environment necessary to facilitate interaction of different users within the campus, but then all the ways need to consider the relationship of the user & the environment.
