Smart Buildings/Smart(er) Designers: BIM and the Creative Design Process
Building information modeling (BIM) provides the implied promise of integrating all types of needed data into one file or model. It affords the architect (and client) an opportunity to include life‐cycle assessment as part of the design process when considering alternatives. BIM applications have progressed to the point where they may be effectively used to visualize form with materials by adding realistic finishes with reflectivity, texture, and color, thereby enabling the designer to judge based on visual criteria. Parametric relationships offered by current BIM platforms facilitate generative processes by allowing design versioning while maintaining integrity of an overall assembly. The chapter presents three lists on lighting, thermal performance, and structure to provide some examples of data that can/should be added as part of a true building information model. Future BIM platforms need to account for fabrication and manufacturing processes in order for designers to consider them in their design process.
