Introduction

The term Building Information Modeling (BIM) has different meanings:- tridimensional model: typically produced using a 3d‐dimensional building modeling software;- database: include geometry, properties, quantities, spatial and functional relationships of building

components;

- procedure: it is the process of generating and managing building data during its life cycle (LCA).

The main goal of BIM is reduce the risk of failure of a project

OBJECTIVE: develop an interoperability procedure for achieve an Existing Informative Model used as base for the Programming phase of the Building Process.

FIELD: building process, acquiring data, topography and survey

FOCUSType of different semantic information are subdivided in:

- Visual representation (document and drawings);- Artificial language and structured representation (IFC / BIM – XML

language);

Internship experience




gmp Architekten von Gerkan, Marg und Partner

Activities undertaken:- Architectural design projects through several level of detail;- Use of the BIM technology;- Application of an experimental interoperable procedures of

work.

Research aspects:- Understanding of difficulties in a complex working

environment;- How to manage the high level of precision held by the the

parametric software also during the early phase of design;




CONTEXT:A. Project for the Susa’s High Speed Train Station

- Type: competition under invitation- Level required: preliminary

B. Project for the Padua’s Conference Center- Type: tender for the construction- Level required: definitive

Level of design phase required by Italian law:- Preliminary design phase (Competition / Tender)- Definitive design phase- Executive phase

- Construction phase (Design variation)- As-Built phase (End of works)

Internship experience

Curtsey of GMP Architekten

Design: Volkwin Marg and Jürgen Hillmer with Robert Friedrichs

Co-operation with: 5+1AA, Genua

Project leader: Stephanie Joebsch, Robert Friedrichs

Staff (design): Alessia Spezzano, Achim Wangler, Bernd Kottsieper,

Claudia Schultze, Vincenzo Donato

BIM was:① used as a communicative tool between the design actor involved during the project;② applied to valuate the different configuration for:

a. Urban (study of the several altitude level for roads) b. Architectural (facilitate the understating of intersection of volumes)c. Structural (several solution were studied to achieve the better solution)

① BIM was used to create bi-dimensional documents, modified with CAD in the second step;

② BIM applied for valuate the potential of a hypothetic refurbishment of the existing building;

③ BIM was applied to verified the interference between several field such as architectural, structural, plants projects;

④ Elaboration of a optimized procedure for obtaining rendering and a real model form the 3d printer.

THE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACHIEVED:Developed procedures to facilitate the design process, especially in the early design phase.

1) CAD to BIM to CAD: an interoperable procedure to obtain 2d drawing towards the dialog with a parametric 3d model;

2) BIM to 3Ddprinter: it was develop an optimized procedure which takes into account the level of detail (LOD) of the model;

3) Pictures to BIM: a simply procedure to obtain a conceptual 3d model from pictures where conduce solar simulation;

Note 1: Next development could be to realize a procedure for the automatic realization of report document connected to the spaces or geometry (especially for a tender.Note 2: It was developed also a procedure for the realization of rendering.Note 3: Pictures to BIM was published an article on the international conference “EGRAPHIA 2012”.Note 4: All the procedure were also acquired in the GMP system. They are interested because the company doesn't use BIM technology, especially in the early design phase.

1) CAD TO BIM TO CAD DESIGN PROCESSThe BIM technology was used to compare several design solution.The procedure was based for the production of 2d documents drawings and the parametric environment was use only like a tool to facilitate the decision making process.The decision making process was based on:- Subjective observation (perspective view);- Collection of data (solar analysis and shading simulation).Generic Scheme of Design Process

ACTIVITIES AT SOBE:- Master Degree course in distributed intelligence in design phase;- Generative/computational design,- Augmented/mixed reality applications in design;- Emergent design strategies and techniques in architectural and

Urban Design;- Courses based on teaching B.I.M. (B.Eng. and M.eng.);

REASON AND EXPECTED OBJECTIVE:- The use of B.I.M. will be made mandatory on all the government

projects within five years (right now, in UK, B.I.M. is mandatory for which recommended BIM being used on projects over £50m);

- IFC specialist knowledge;- Application on B.I.M. and early design phase;- Application on B.I.M. and laser scanner.

Not last:- Gain more international experience and improving the languages …
