- Australian Museum Project, Steve Ashton and Robert Peck described the tradition design and construction process: Designer imagines an Idea in 3D to solve client's program. Design deconstructs 3D ideas to 2D representations...
One thing that I found fascinating was how they were describing how some people have changed their design process due to BIM. Before it, people mainly worked from on a plan/section on paper which is very 2D, then moved on to a 3D model. Now with BIM people are designing in a 3D model and then figuring out what the plans and section are based on the model. This is an interesting changed because it made me wonder if the product would have been the same if the person started from 2D to 3D?
- Today's full-fledge building information modeling tools can extract material and assembly quantities directly from a model and feed them to a coast database, radically increasing the speed, accuracy, and possible frequency of the estimates.
BIM and VDC has drastically changed the design and construction process by making it faster to communicate the design with the clients, contractors, cost consultants, architectural specialists, and etc. It seems like BIM has increased the rate of production because BIM can process the information faster and easier to people. For example, the article also talked about how structural engineers are able to give faster feedback to the design decisions because they can now run load and natural forces simulations on the design quicker on BIM.
People are also able to run sunlight and energy analysis on the BIM to see if the building would need changes made to it or not. BIM has made work production more efficient in designing and communication ideas to each other.
