Possible future advantage of BIM/Revit:
There are a lot benefits already nowadays with using BIM
process. With the fact of having more information contained buildings in the
future, BIM could be a great tool to capture the completed process in a way
that the tradition pen and paper aren’t able to do. Using BIM drawing tools are
way faster than the 3D drawings tools. With having the family feature in of the
BIM tools, Revit, the project can automatically update the information with
different numbers and sizes being changed, which would make the design process
much more efficient and easier. Another example, with using BIM, it can improve
the collaborations between architects, engineering, and the owners. Autodesk
360 is commonly used nowadays in the design field with having the feature of integrating
all of the different disciplines.
Also, there are simulation tools out there for designer to
visualize things such as daylight and different weather condition and the
software would generate the peak conditions with analyzing the data. In the
future, it would be ideal if the BIM software could also predict the extreme
weather condition so that it could incorporate the needs into the design
process. Despite the fact that BIM is and will be making the design process
cheaper, more efficient, and safer, but there are still people are used to the
old ways of working. From the article I read, seems like the solution could be
summarized a three-pronged approach: processes, policies, and people.

Abad: I enjoyed reading your post about the future of BIM uses. I agree with your point that BIM could reduce building energy and makes the building sustainable and it is something traditional paper and pen can never achieve. And I believe with the use of BIM getting more common and common, it will for sure to reduce the construction cost and increase the efficiency a lot more in the future.
Shuster: The point you brought up about BIM not being building information modeling but building information optimizing is really interesting to read. It would be ideal if designers don't need to code every aspect of the building in the future and only need to put in the parameters to let the program generates on it own. For sure it will save so much time and cost but it also makes me worry that if humans will eventually lose our creativities one day or decrease creativities with fast phase development of the technologies.
Nay: The points you listed there are very interesting and unique. I actually agree with all of your three points. What I will be discussing here will be your third point where engineers will be no longer needed in the future. This is the aspect that I worry about the most also. Like jordan mentioned in her post, it is most likely that designers are not necessary to code every aspects of the building and instead only some parameters will be needed to make the design happen. It makes me worry that one day our humans creativities will be going to a down curve.

Sherry,
ReplyDeleteI agree that using Revit and BIM processes enables work to be done much faster an efficiently. I think one of its best tools is the ability to simulate different scenarios in order to study how a building will perform under different situations. With this technology buildings of the future may be able to withstand natural disasters and potentially not only save properties but lives.
Sherry Xiaoyu Liu Comment: I liked the idea of BIM being able to factor in potential extreme conditions into modelling and helping engineers design accordingly. This step will cut down on time for research on future weather conditions. I also liked how you made the general statement that the future of BIM will most definitely make the design process cheaper, more efficient, and safer.
ReplyDeleteSherry,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post, it is definitely a very important technology to look at. The advances in BIM and Revit will allow us to change we build and change the way we address a problem in any construction. I like that you mentioned that Revit could help you predict how would a building react to extreme weather conditions. It is a long shots but with good research as backup, you could make some very interesting points about it.
