Sources for the BIM and IFC history?
Under this link https://bigdataconstruction.com/history-of-bim/ there are several articles. Those are from 2021 or later. So, they do not have the latest news like about NativeIFC in BlenderBIM or FreeCAD-NativeIFC.
Are there any other source that describe the history of BIM and IFC?
I am just curious.

Some additional related request:
On LinkedIn I saw a screen recording of someone loading an IFC made in 1994 (!) (or somewhere near that year (atleast what they claimed) loading flawlessly into Archicad 21. I tried to search for this clip somewhere but I could never find it again.

I've found that he mixes fact and fiction in his articles to twist into a narrative that ends up with him selling his proprietary BIM product. I would advise caution and skepticism when reading the articles.
Yes, I also found it a bit strange. Would it then be a good idea if Osarch Wiki had a page for the history?
