Harnessing BIM Technology and Integrated Project Delivery for Sustainable Design
May 14th - Track C - Understannding the Limitations fo multiple BIM Soultions
The Colorado College 'Cornerstone Arts Center'
Graham Hogan is presenting the design process at Antoine Predock Architect PC. He’s showing foam massing models and clay massing. The project goes on hold for 3 years and everything gets scraped and they start over. My first reaction is wow this is old school. A good example of the top down hierarchy at a starchitect’s office. Then Graham starts to show the 3D models they are churning out daily from their digital models. I’m jealous. I wish we had two of these printers in my office..
Construction Team
Started the Revit Model at the beginning of CD’s. Usually it is better to develop throughout DD’s.
Issues with drawings that don’t look the same. You have to decide what is critical and what is not critical. Elevations are very flat. Turned shadows on elevations. How much do you model. Where do you stop in the modeling process.
The construction team used Revit to model but started at the beginning of CD’s rather than throughout DD’s. The Team struggled with deciding where to stop the modeling process. They also came to the realization that they had to make decision on what was important to communicate in their documents.
This project was far from a text book example of a BIM project. It was probably more of a lesson in how to use the software than it was to complete a true BIM project. I see firms time and again trying to shoe horn BIM into their traditional workflows and methodologies and it just doesn’t work.
