Information Modeling

BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING

A Building Information Model referred to a BIM is a three-dimensional computer model in which all architectural information is conceived, quantified, and stored. BIM accounts for much of the technique by which we document and communicate principal phases our design process from preliminary design through the production of construction documents. BIM reverses the process of working from two-dimensional drawing to three-dimensional modeling by placing the development of a three-dimensional computer model on the front end of the design process. As decisions are made, more information is plugged in to the model. In short, a BIM model is a data rich informational warehouse from which all design development, presentation drawings, material schedules, and construction documents are derived.

BIM SOFTWARE SCREEN CAPTURE

The image below is a screen capture of the BIM Software–Vectorworks Architect–as used to produce one of several projects by Workingdesign. The layout shows how various aspects of a project can be worked on concurrently. All aspects are associated, therefore any change made to the model will update all other drawing criteria accordingly.
