1 The Future of BIM Will Not Be BIM, and It s Coming Faster Than You Think! Bill Allen Partner, Chief Technology Officer Twitter Join the conversation #AU2016

2 About Me Bill Allen -EvolveLAB CTO -National Speaker Autodesk University 2012 A Case Study on the Strategic Implementation of BIM Central States Revit Workshop 2012 The Progressional Process of Pushing Information Central States Revit Workshop 2013 It s the Process Stupid BIM Workshop 2014 The Process of Pushing Parametric Information Back to the Future: Integrating Phasing BIM Workshop 2015 The Great Dynamo Discovery Developing and Implementing the LOD Denver Design Symposium 2015 Data Driven Design Autodesk University 2016 The Future of BIM is not BIM, and it s coming faster than you think Do you want to change the Industry Status Quo?

3 Class summary In this discussion, I will be so bold as to make predictions as to where I believe our industry is going in the next 3 to 10 years. With advancements in generative design, software algorithms, and robotic construction, our current processes are going to be changing quite a bit. We will see more and more done by computers and machines than we have ever seen. Rather than Building Information Modeling (BIM), we are going to see Building Information Optimization. In contrast, rather than manually drawing walls, doors, and columns for what we think is a good design, we will feed the computer "rules" instructing it to give us a building s optimal footprint, structural load capacity, and thermal performance. Things that took months will be done in a day. What does this mean for you? How do you play a part in this changing process? Come to find out how. This is sure to be an exciting and enlightening discussion.

4 Key learning objectives At the end of this class, you will be able to: Know what trends and technologies are coming to our industry Know how algorithms and robotics will drastically change the design/build process Understand how these new processes will affect you directly and indirectly Know how to best prepare yourself and your firm for these changing processes

7 There will be haters

8 Can a Robot Write a Symphony? In Slate.com Chris Wilson states Cope has been writing software to help him compose music for 30 years, and he long ago reached the point where most people can't tell the difference between real Bach and the Bach-like compositions his computer can produce. Audiences have been moved to tears by melodies created by algorithms

9 Can a Robot turn a canvas into a beautiful masterpiece? Pindar Van Arman, a technology artist and software engineer, has built a robot that can paint art.

10 Can algorithms design a building? Can a Robot build a structure?

11 Bridging the Gap Where we ve been Where we are Where we are going Data gathering Data Manipulation Data Optimization

12 How Do I Know Where We Are Going? It s already happening A few more years before it is mainstream

13 Where Have We Been?

14 Hunters and [Data] Gathers

15 [Hunting] Assessing [Manually] Re-model

16 I can only design a few options with the timeline and budget allocated

17 [Data] Gathering

18 Static Modeling vs Parametricism and [Algorithmic] Modeling

19 Next step is [Co-Creation] Image curtesy of Redshift

20 Using Data to [inform] buildings Earliest signs of this in my own work Rigid and not intuitive to edit Form

21 Using [Data] + [Algorithmic editors] to [inform] buildings Algorithmic modeling much easier and intuitive to edit Panels planar and Rationalized

22 Dynamo extends building information modeling with the data and logic environment of a graphical algorithm editor

23 [Tool Building] Age

27 [Computer] Assisted [Craftsmanship] Algorithm created 2D template for fabrication Algorithm numbered each template

28 [Computer] Assisted [Craftsmanship]

29 [Computer] Assisted [Craftsmanship] Augmented Efficiency in Design

30 [Computer] Assisted [Craftsmanship] Augment Efficiency in Documentation

31 [Computer] Assisted [Craftsmanship] Same labor cost whether straight or curved

32 [Computer] Assisted [Craftsmanship] HDR Architecture Design Credit CNC (Computer Numerical Control) Computer converts the design produced by Computer software into numbers for fabrication

33 Greater Interoperability

34 Construction Waste Excess building material destroyed = $

35 [Data] Drops = [Data] Waste = $

36 //: Data [Interoperability] Parametric Office Proof of Concept

37 //: Data [Interoperability] Breckenridge Parking Garage

38 //:Data [Interoperability] Created Algorithmic model to replicate the mountains

39 //: Data [Interoperability] Algorithm pushes model into Revit as native adaptive compnents

54 AI BIM = Task [Automation] AI BIM will execute mundane tasks Frees up Designer and General Contractor

55 AI BIM = Optimized [3D Coordination] Future: Feed the computer the load requirements, room types, etc. and the computer algorithm autonomously designs, routes, and models the MEP information

56 AI BIM = Optimized [Structure] Manual analysis and modeling is going away Design-driven reinforcement calculation program for 3D cage modeling Automates documentation production for reinforced concrete columns, beams and footings

57 AI BIM will process international codes

58 AI BIM = Optimal [Daylighting]
