1.
Exploration and Understanding of the Role of
Visual Communication:
It allows for the creation of very
complex hybrid drawings to be created very easily. From a completed model, you
could essentially draw infinite different sections, plans, or elevations. You
can study how placing one objects changes the plan, section and elevation all
at once and with greater ease.
2.
Re-prioritization of Design Process and
Methodology:
There is no such thing as designing solely
in plan, or solely in section. As soon as you create a floor, you are designing
in 3D space. The floor, like everything, has thickness and doesn’t just come in
as an unintelligent line. By modeling in 3D, you get a more complete view of
what you are designing. You now have to worry about your design in all
dimensions right off the bat.
3.
Visualization, documentation and coordination of
space:
Because you are virtually modeling your
design, you can see what spatial relationships you are creating right from
placing in the first walls and floors. You’ll be able to almost ‘inhabit’ the
spaces before they are built. You can test different elements and how they
relate spatially to your design with ease.
4.
Investigation of design opportunities in digital
media:
In revit, every detail, joint, and recess
can be investigated and remade from the beginning. BIM allows the user to
specialize every element never forcing the user to settle for a ‘just a door’.
It opens up every aspect of the model up to be designed and then streamlined. The
user has infinite input as to how the building comes together.
5.
Engagement of design specificity and ambiguity:
In BIM, you have to become very specific
almost too quickly. If you don’t take time to design ambiguously first, you can
get trapped in some of the details before you’ve even hammered out the spaces.
If you know how to use revit, it allows for both ambiguous and specific design.
In this tattoo parlor, I have utilized conceptual masses to understand and play
with the programming of the spaces. In the last assignment, I modeled a wall
section and detailing very accurately.
6.
Investigation of skills that Contemporary Practitioners
must Employ:
BIM allows designers to produce and test
ideas rapidly. It also allows them to test ideas in 3D space and real time. It
gives designers a new skill set that takes architects back to the idea of the
master builder. With these investigative tools that allow everything to be
modified, we are able to get into the nooks and crannies of our design. We can
now pound out ideas to get to the right one quicker and easier.
7.
Implementation of Problem Solving/Creative
Thinking:
It allows students and professions
to ask and answer a lot of questions. By testing out the impossible, we are
able to rule out and answer rhetorical questions. It takes our design to new
heights and unfound places. More importantly, it allows us to test ideas that
wouldn’t normal exist in real life. It lets us imagine the impossible.
8.
Synthesis of Information and Professional
Education:
It allows for professional collaboration to
be taken more seriously and directly. Professionals can collaborate in the same
space, working on the same project. This pushes not only the design forward,
but allows professionals to learn from each other. Architects must interface
with Engineers who must interface with Landscape designers and so on. Because
the field is collaborating and correcting their own wrongs, every professional
is learning from another within a different field. Engineers are no longer
asked to figure out a structure to hold this building up. Architects and
engineers are given this problem and are able to solve it together.
