The production of contemporary architecture in Ceará is part of an economic, political and cultural-ideological context of alignment with global economic flows, constituting a significant collection to be documented and analyzed. The use of BIM as a technology that uses parametric models for inventory, documentation, intervention, management, promotion and analysis of existing projects and buildings allows, in addition to its (re)construction through virtual simulation, the exploration and management of information, becoming an object and source of study. Modeling also enables the construction of digital diagrams that allow the understanding of design processes, as well as interpretation. In this context, the objective of this paper is to analyze the process of constructing digital diagrams through the BIM platform as a strategy for analyzing contemporary architecture in Ceará, taking as a case study institutional buildings for higher education, namely the Advanced Campus of the Federal University of Ceará - UFC in Russas.
