Digital Content made possible by BIM enable sustainable design.

Digital Content made possible by BIM enable design compliments the new direction in sustainable design. The creation of a virtual environment that can simulate the built space is the next threshold to be crossed in the near future. New concepts and strategies can be limited by the designer’s ability to communicate and then provide concrete data to confirm the design theory matches the unique condition of each design challenge. The elements which are brought together to create an envelope in the real world context of the site are more possible as data bases can be obtained and linked to the design as it evolves through the design process. BIM is the base building block for this need to engage in holistic design with multi disciplines working within the same model to test the design before construction begins. This is moving toward the ability to provide the client with a data base of the virtual environment that can then be used to manage and maintain the space throughout the life of the home. This process allows the designers the freedom to move toward human needs design which tunes in well with the need for good earth stewardship, with no contribution to small. The freedom to dissect the model and economically study the design in full detail and then to create simulation from the same source is the key which offers the hope of moving toward the true organic.

Empowered designers embrace the freedom to leverage this tool to explore and discover the balance between all the factors that present with each design journey. Communicate the design through the creation of multimedia production design studies that visualize the story of the design. Providing a means to reach a broad spectrum of the public in a language familiar to most to build toward expectations of what the environments can provide as a human experience supported by the quantitative science of the art of architecture.

You are quite right there are real credits in more digital projecting ,everything will profit from software to maneage the actural and even refined building proces's and true this is a very promising branche, architecture.
I wonder though , as architects allway's warned against to mechanised an industrie --- and my oppinion this is true. At some stage the designs simply become to old fasion in all terms, at some point the beauty are replaced by something different something that is not beauty, and at that time, every window, each steel profile cut to length and numbered will contain lesser and least value in terms of architecture. Allready I find Revit crossing that line years ago.
The efford shuld be pointed a different direction but still profit how good we became projecting houses, but as the direction seem more and more engineering, then a paragime shift, a different way to percive the building structure will add an even greater vision.
BIM is fine for me, my argument also are efficiency I just claim, that the real progress shuld bring a nice new house at a third the cost ,four times stronger , and this shuld offer new design tools, a new way to manufactor and realise the single building compoment, now there don't need to be 3000 different steel profiles as a smart computer generated lattrice replaced that , with one material only things like that --- BIM as I know it support any projecting it is not an architectural direction but BIM shuld only be the servant to write out the N.C. codes, and do the logistics --- it must be artists who project houses as they simply create nicer homes than what a mashin can multiply a pattern into , 3D-H lattrice work from a compleatly differnt understanding of the build structure , only then can it replace 3000 different dteel beams with just one material that is formed to replace it all.

Empowered designers embrace the freedom to leverage this tool to explore and discover the balance between all the factors that present with each design journey. Communicate the design through the creation of multimedia production design studies that visualize the story of the design. Providing a means to reach a broad spectrum of the public in a language familiar to most to build toward expectations of what the environments can provide as a human experience supported by the quantitative science of the art of architecture.

The digital content from BIM process is not only an analytical tool and construction document oriented, but can be leveraged in a more artisan approach similar to traditional hand produced qualities.

The layers of user interactive digital content are composed in a multimedia production which can communicate the design in a visual language that goes beyond the limits of traditional 2D content.

The delivery methods in this fluid media as outlined help to make the message a more targeted personal format that can not be reached by mass media outlets.

It moves toward movie making for the project and with BIM it can start with the first concept and build and support the design throughout the process. The multimedia design studies communicate the journey of the design.

These factors provide opportunities for the small firm to offer services that were traditionally only supplied by large firms for high profile big budget projects. This can empower and communicate small projects that are making contributions to good earth stewardship as we know no contribution is too small and when compounded by all the small projects built each year it would make a difference toward climate change concerns.


This digital content offers a means to reach a level of understanding by the construction professional so that new ideas and strategies do not result in budget over runs due to the fear of the unknown.
These construction professional want to make a contribution as well but are also practicing in a profession that is highly completive and profit sensitive. Communication is the key and this visual based approach is more respectful of time constraints imposed on today’s construction professional time to read and understand traditional contract documents is always limited.
