%X Building Information Modeling (BIM) employs 3D CAD models as a central knowledge base for large-scale facility design, construction, and operation. Its growing information complexity calls upon innovative techniques for effective visual analysis and exploration. An important question remains: how to best display relevant information for different use cases throughout a facility's life cycle? This PhD thesis seeks to bridge this gap through both theoretical and practical approaches. We first present a systematic literature review on the current state of information visualization (VIS) in BIM research. Building upon these findings, we describe the design and evaluation of a novel 4D system for virtual construction planning. Its unique visualizations make evident schedule uncertainties, workspace conflicts, and other constructability issues. The thesis contributes to BIM research with important visualization guidelines and also contributes to VIS research by raising awareness to interesting challenges in a increasingly relevant engineering domain.
