Building information modelling (BIM) is revolutionising building
design and construction. For architects, BIM has the potential to
optimise their creativity while reducing risk in the design and
construction process, thus giving them a more significant role in
the building process. This book demonstrates how innovative firms
are using BIM technologies to move design away from the utilitarian
problems of construction, engaging them in a stunning new future in
the built environment. Whereas recent books about BIM have tended
to favour case-study analyses or instruction on the use of specific
software, BIM Design highlights how day-to-day design operations
are shaped by the increasingly generative and collaborative aspects
of these new tools. BIM strategies are described as operations that
can enhance design rather than simply make it more efficient. Thus
this book focuses on the specific creative uses of information
modelling at the operational level, including the creative
development of parametric geometries and generative design, the
evaluation of environmental performance and the simulation and
scheduling of construction/fabrication operations. This book also
engages BIM s pragmatic efficiencies such as the conflict checking
of building systems and the creation of bills of quantities for
costing; and in so doing it demonstrates how BIM can make such
activities collaborative. Throughout, projects are used to
illustrate the creative application of BIM at a variety of scales.
These buildings showcase work by fi rms executing projects all over
the world: SHoP Architects and Construction (New York), Morphosis
(Los Angeles), Populous (London), GRO Architects (New York), Reiser
+ Umemoto (New York), Gensler (Shanghai) and UNStudio (Amsterdam).
