| − | In 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto proposed a peer-to-peer (p2p) system - blockchain. It aimed at improving the autonomy of information transactions within a decentralised network to eliminate the time and resources needed for institutional authentication. ‘Satoshi Vision’ (SV) is an approach to blockchain that lowers the operational cost of a block to facilitate micropayments. The SV approach can be applied to the production pipeline of architectural practices through Building Information Modelling (BIM) systems to streamline the distribution of information, work, and cash. SV-BIM coupling may provide connectivity to local independent and small-scale actors (LISAs), incentivise microeconomic exchanges, and help LISAs to organise themselves through the network in real-time. This has the potential to assist the development of an inclusive circular economy by building local socio-economic capacity, increasing productivity, and improving cultural sensitivity in design.

| − | The author first introduces how the support of LISAs can help to develop an inclusive circular economy within the architectural industry. The methodology section describes the desk review and prescriptive study that are conducted for this exploratory design research. In the background section, this paper briefly outlines the present situation for LISAs and BIM using Hong Kong as an example. Subsequently, this paper reviews various blockchain-BIM coupling precedents, and discusses how blockchain serves to incentivise microeconomic exchanges within other industries. In the section of possible solutions, this paper details the principles of SV and its potential in coupling with BIM, and advises on means to incentivise. Afterwards, this paper discusses the potential constraints for the proposed SV-BIM system and concludes its premises. In part 2 - implementation - of this paper, the author illustrates the possible workings of SV-BIM with UML use case and stack diagrams.
