TECHNOLOGY

Monday, March 26, 12

CAD

WAS INTRODUCED AS EARLY AS THE 1960’S BUT DID NOT BECOME WIDELY USED UNTIL THE 1980’S

ALLOWED EASY REPRODUCTION

ALLOWED EASY REVISIONS

WAS MORE ACCURATE THAN HAND-DRAFTING

MUCH LESS ARCHIVAL SPACE WAS REQUIRED

FILES COULD BE USED IN MACHINING/FABRICATION

LEGACY DELIVERABLES

Monday, March 26, 12

“3D”

ALLOWED ARCHITECTS TO EASILY COMMUNICATE WITH CLIENTS AND CONTRACTORS

ALLOWED MULTIPLE VIEWS

ALLOWED EASY REVISIONS

DID NOT CONTAIN PERTINENT INFORMATION

DID NOT PRODUCE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS

BIM

PUTS THE EMPHASIS ON THE VIRTUAL MODEL RATHER THAN DOCUMENTATION

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS ARE PRODUCED FROM THE VIRTUAL MODEL

VIEWS ARE LINKED AND DATA IS CONSISTENT

CHANGES ARE UNIVERSAL

INSTANT FEEDBACK

ALL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN A SINGLE DATABASE

LEVELS OF DEVELOPMENT

LEVEL 100 - CONCEPTUAL DESIGN. BASIC MASSING AND PROGRAMMING. VOLUMES ARE DEFINED BUT HAVE NO SUBDIVISIONS.

LEVEL 200 - DESIGN DEVELOPMENT. CIRCULATION, BUILDING COMPONENTS, AND SYSTEMS ARE DEFINED.

LEVEL 300 - CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS. ELEMENTS ARE DEFINED AND ALL NECESSARY INFORMATION FOR CONSTRUCTION IS PRESENT.

LEVEL 400 - FABRICATION. ALL INFORMATION REQUIRED TO FABRICATE OR INSTALL COMPONENTS IS INCLUDED.

LEVEL 500 - AS-BUILT. THIS IS A COMPLETE DOCUMENTATION OF NOT WHAT WAS PROPOSED, BUT ACTUALLY INSTALLED.

CONCLUSION

WE HAVE SEEN A SHIFT AWAY FROM THE “MASTER BUILDER” BUT ARE STARTING TO SEE A MOVE BACK IN THAT DIRECTION

BIM TECHNOLOGY GOES FAR BEYOND TRADITIONAL BUILDING DOCUMENTATION

BIM TECHNOLOGY ALLOWS US TO DESIGN BUILDINGS WE COULD NOT WITH TRADITIONAL MEANS

THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS ONCE A VIRTUAL MODEL/DATABASE HAS BEEN CREATED
