The Elements– Inventor of the
coordinate system, ‘father’ of geometry
Invention of descriptive geometry

Alberti De pictura ● First scientific work
describing central and orthogonal perspective
● History:– 1591-1661 Gérard

Invention of projective geometry
Invention of the modern CAD concept
● History:– 1960 Ivan Sutherland
SKETCHPAD– 1982 AutoCAD 1.0

Sketchpad demo
Pierre Bézier [1910-1999]
● Invention of parametric curves for the use in computer graphics
● UNISURF CAD application devd. for Renault on Bézier-curves in the 1960's
“If your system were that good, the
Americans would have invented it
first!” (Management of Renault to B. in
1971)
CA(A)D packages
● The promises:– Let repetitive work be done by the
machine– Draw more exactly– Draw quicker– Concentrate on the building instead of
the drawing– Get rid of paper by electronic
documents– Let ‘intelligent’ functionality take care
of certain tasks (automation)
CA(A)D packages
● The real world:– CA(A)D in most cases used as 2D
pen and paper replacement– Document exchange critical due to
lack of standards– Applications are error-prone

Nature of the Building and Construction Industry
Very fragmented industry– For example, in the EU (statistics
2000):– 11 million jobs, 2 million companies– 93% of companies less than 10
employees– Only 100 companies with more that
2000 employees(source: Arto Kiviniemi)

● Building Information Model
● "Building information modeling integrates all of the geometric model information, the functional requirements and capabilities, and piece behavior information into a single interrelated description of a building project over its lifecycle. It also includes process information dealing with construction schedules and fabrication processes."

Building information model paradigm
● Building is designed assembling parametric objects that are related to each other
● Every object of the building has a set of properties that can be interpreted in different contexts
● Geometrical representations (e.g. drawings) are only one of many aspects. Drawings can be generated dynamically from existing data.
● Changes to the model are reflected in all depending documents
● Different domains (structural engineering, building physics etc.) have different views on a building model
●Parametric Modeling

Parametric drawing of a rectangle
Parameters: (input from modeler)
Object type : Rectangle Width : 5Height : 3Center Point C : x = 3.5 , y = 2.5
Application calculates explicit geometry:
P1 = x = x-coordinate of point C – width / 2,
y = y-coordinate of point C – height / 2
P2 = x = x-coordinate of point C + width / 2,
y = y-coordinate of point C – height / 2
P3 = x = x-coordinate of point C + width / 2,
y = y-coordinate of point C + height / 2
P4 = x = x-coordinate of point C - width / 2,
y = y-coordinate of point C + height / 2
Non-parametric building elements
Window as non-parametric geometry:
●When size of window is manipulated by scaling, the profiles of the window frame are scaled as well
●Each part of the frame has to be adjusted
●Many operations are necessary => time and errors
Hint: you can actually use “stretching” in a 2D-case to prevent this

Building information model paradigm
● Advantages– ‘intelligent’ applications can gather
all sorts of information (room sizes, material lists etc.) from a well defined model
– Dependent drawings such as sections do not have to be redrawn on changes but automatically adapt
Building information model paradigm
● Problems– Additional (non-graphical)
information has to be provided by architect
– Coherency when changing objects – Object relations have to be
designed – Complexity with all data required
often cannot not be generated at design time
● Information Exchange
● Interoperability

Software applications in Building and Construction
Structuring drawings
● Layers– Easy metaphor for architects
(stacked transparent paper)– Currently most standardize method
of data exchange structuring● ISO DIS 13567● AIA standard
– Easy to handle– Unlimited granularity
Standard exchange formats
● DXF– Most established, open standard for
data exchange to date, interfaces build into many applications
– Human readable ASCII format– Limited set of geometry and
information – Only faces/polygons supported – No advanced geometry such as
solids and NURBS
Standard exchange formats
● DWG– Proprietary Autodesk format with
frequent changes– Can be im-/exported by many
applications– Features advanced geometry
(Solids etc.) – Can be extended by 3rd party
applications
Standard exchange formats
● IFC– Developed to suit needs of building
industry– Open– Extendable– Lots of advanced meta-data storable– Not widely supported (yet)– Under development / constant
change– XML-version human readable and
easy to integrate for collaboration with other applications

Future developments
● Architect as ‘building programmer’?
● Better compatibility through open standards (IFC etc.)
● Finally: Paperless office at last?
