WHAT IS THE PLACE FOR BIM IN ARCHITECTURE?  IS IT ONLY MEANT FOR PRODUCTION, OR CAN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN BENEFIT FROM THE REAL TIME FEEDBACK AVAILABLE FROM BUILDING INFORMANTION MODELS.  THEREBY HOW CAN THE TIME GAINED FROM THESE TOOLS BE RE-APPROPIATED?  THIS STUDIO EXPERIMENTED WITH HOW PARAMETRIC MODELING INFILTRATE THE BIM DESIGN PROCESS, ADJUCATING RIGOR IN THE PROCESS BY USE OF THE SOFTWARE AND RE-APPLYING THOSE LOGICS IN OTHER ASPECTS.  THIS PROJECT IS THEREFORE A PARAMETRIC ARCHITECTURAL SYSTEM WITH EMBEDDED VARIABILITY WITHIN THE GENERATIVE COMPONENT.
