BIM za raziskovanje in predstavljanje arhitekturnega oblikovanja

Magistrsko delo proučuje vpliv BIM (Building Information Modeling – informacijsko modeliranje stavb) metodologije kot orodja in tehnologije za izvajnje kreativnega procesa snovanja stavbe v arhitekturnih birojih. Za razumevanje vpliva BIM metodologije je potrebno razumeti zgodoviski razvoj digitalnih in analognih orodji za načrtovanje in njihovo interakcijo ter vpliv na načrtovalski process. Ključnega pomena je kako vpeljava nove tehnologije vpliva na pristop k načertovanju znotraj arhitekturnega biroja. BIM kot nova tehnologija istopa predvsem z možnostjo večje in lažje optimizacije načrtovanih rešitev ter vzpodbuja vlogo arhitekta pri oblikovanju boljših rešitev s hitrejšim načrtovanjem in večjo kakovostjo oblikovanja. Uporaba vgrajenega virtualnega okolja omogoča v procesu arhitekturnega načrtovanja lažjo predstavitev in primerjavo načrtovalskih rešitev kot tudi preveritev izvedljivosti zasnovane rešitve iz tehnološkega stališča. Glavni cilj naloge je osvetliti in bolje razumeti kako konceptualno razumvanje BIM metodologije vpliva na kreativni process načrtovanja ter identificirti formalne in operativne izzive, ki se pojavljajo z vpeljavo nove tehnologije. V sklopu naloge je raziskano tudi kako lahko uporaba BIM spodbudi načrtovalca k raziskovanju novih načrtovalskih možnosti ter k večji integraciji in interoperabilnosti z drugimi načrtovalskimi strokami, ki sodelujejo v načrtovalskem procesu stavb. This master thesis studies the impact of BIM (Building Information Modelling) methodology as a technology and a representation tool in the creative process approach in architecture offices. Through this approach, and for a better understanding of it, it is necessary to return some steps and understand how the design and the creative process were affected by digital innovations throughout architecture history and how new technologies are currently impacting the architecture routine. As a new possible technology, BIM stands out as an excellent solution to optimize and to stimulate the architect’s work, with some visible advantages in application, like greater speed and higher quality in the design development. Among the solutions offered, the virtual building method in the architectural process noticeably brings the professional closer to constructive techniques, since it enables the construction of a virtual model with a set of information that allows a more integrated and consistent product. The challenge of the work presented in this thesis resides in conceptually understand the BIM methodology as directly related to the creative process through the formal and operational challenges of technology, and how it can collaborate to make the design process more efficient in the representation field. This work aims to understand how the BIM concept will stimulate the architects to explore new thinking processes and new abilities for their creative approach, such as better interoperability with other disciplines and better and more consistent control of the whole project.
