Mark Wieringa is an Architect/Information Specialist. Since the beginning of his professional career he has always been very interested in the way computers can help us to achieve a better design process and reach our design goals. He has been working with countless types of design software and started with Revit in 2004. He was the BIM-manager for some of the well known architectural firms in the Netherlands.
He is also very active in the Dutch Revit Usergroup being its Vice Chairman. Where he organizes yearly events such as the “DynamoDay” and the “Revit & Ifc Usersday”. He was part of getting the Revit Technology Conference(BILT) to Europe as a member of the RTC-EUR committee from 2012 till 2016. He also has been a frequent speaker at several RTC and BILT events all over the world. He also is a frequent guest lecturer at technical University of Delft and other higher education institutes.
Standardization has always been one of his main interests. He has been a member of the Dutch Norm Committee NEN on interoperability & linked data. Together with his business partner Martijn de Riet he was the initiator and original author of the Dutch Revit Standards. Currently he is the chairman of the Revit Standards Foundation.
In 2015 he started Bimforce together with Martijn de Riet which specializes in complex data-management issues of BIM and Ifc. At Bimforce he has focused on the development of IFC in a graph to be able to create IfcProjectlibraries content libraries. Based upon this he has developed an IfcGraph which allows to create a fully parametric way of describing Ifc-Models and linking several data sources.

BILT Europe 2022, Valencia | IFC for smartie-pantsMartijn De Riet, Bimforce Mark Wieringa, BimforceDesign, Construction, Operations and MaintenanceBILTInteroperability/OpenBIM/ CollaborationNon Vendor SpecificSynopsis:
This class provides you with technical knowledge about the IFC schema required to ascend from simply using IFC to commandeering IFC. It will take you deep into the technical aspects of the IFC schema, and provide you with tools and skillsets to extract and manipulate IFC data.
BILT Europe 2022, Valencia | IFC Housing Configurator: Driving building automation with IFC using Graph technologyMark Wieringa, BimforceBILTComputational Design, Interoperability/OpenBIM/ CollaborationOther VendorSynopsis:
Ever written an Ifc file by hand? I guess not. Let alone configure and generate an entire house.
We are using Ifc to develop Lego-like building blocks we can use to configure the content. Using the capabilities of the IfcProjectLibrary we’ll show you how to generate an Ifc residential house. Linking backend data to generated parametric Ifc content and a sneak peek at our IfcGraph model.
