The Future of BIM Will Not Be BIM-and It's Coming Faster than You Think

Join Bill Allen, partner and chief technologist at EvolveLAB, as he shares his predictions for the next 3 to 10 years. With advancements in generative design, software algorithms, and robotic construction, current processes will change. Rather than Building Information Modeling (BIM), we're apt to see Building Information Optimization. What does this mean for you? How do you play a part in this changing process?

All of this has been talked about promised before I was a freshmen in Architecture school 20 years ago. It's maybe slightly closer to reality, but the idea that highly variegated building components will be the same cost as repetitive building components is hugely optimistic... The tools will not drive better design, wiser choices will drive better design.

[@sebastiankalman9097]

The tools will not drive better design, wiser choices will drive better design. This is brilliant - thumbs up

[@moonshineweld]

Thanks for sharing this. I am tired of TEDex presentations or that like, that point the direction but do not know the distance, or that it's closer going the opposite way.

[@andylec5879]

An example of better design is energy efficiency. Running varying window sizes/positions/shading through a program to find the optimal combination is designing a better building. That's not far off from where we are now.

[@clementecisneros3040]

Whoever doesn't know how to use all the tools available for design will definitely affirm that those will not drive better design. If you know how to use these tools properly and exponentially, you will have better design and all of what these tools promise. I was able to deliver a project in 5 weeks, with only 2 interns and a SPM, and of which it would require a team of 10-15 people and/or more than 5 weeks of work.

[@WilhelmB]

Without adequate tools, creating better design becomes hard. A potter will have a hard time forming the clay without his wheel. If the potter gets an order to create 10000 identical clay pots, we all know an automated process does it better. Using the appropriate tool at the appropriate instance definately drives both a better design and a better product. The wisdom lies in knowing when to use what.

[@drh490]

I really like having the option to create a tool that is not available. Although the debate is what progress should we expect from the software developers that we have been paying for already. Essentially some custom tools should come with the program automatically. I don't mind building custom tools for custom scenarios but it can be very frustrating when software developers do not create an out of the box tool for such common applications. When you pay for a membership to a gym, many of us expect all the common excersize equipment to be there by default.

[@jplourde11]

AI BIM starts at 21:34

[@jontopham2742]

So you can make some curves and use some buzzwords but you'll only reach true parametric design when it includes mep and structural element optimization and includes a whole suite of calculations within the software

[@test1test219]

Jon Topham you get it

[@danielhenry1676]

Yes you're always going to need a human element

[@abdulaziza7870]

yeah which is a structural engineer not an architect

[@usertogo]

With the costs of these software packages is there any hope that some open source solutions will ever make it on the scene?

[@digitaldesignandconstructi2202]

Yes. Its BricsCAD...The future of BIM is not restricted platform but its .DWG

[@dennismombo4343]

Yes there will. Someone smart like you will realize that data is money and if they can have a free BIM tool that mines construction data and offer it for free they'll mint billions.Its possible with current internet speeds

[@orbix26]

The future of BIM is ExcelBIM! Easy BIM for everyone! Google it!!!

[@AlanEnriquez]

Very nice, But some info was too biased for Autodesk. Graphisoft has the technology of translating Rhino+Grasshopper directly to Archicad without manually translating forms to building elements.

[@rman1572]

Well it does say 'Autodesk University' so that was expected on some level.

[@jaysmith5816]

And people shifted away from archicad when Noah stopped rolling out updates.

[@aravr_project]

I would be interested in understanding how this could applied for existing buildings where there are concerns about the impact to heritage and heritage management while still allowing new design, adaptive re-use and incorporated development.

[@ainymichiyo8221]

What your opinion ..its good software to learn in future ? For civil engineer ?

[@jimnovack1570]

I really enjoyed your presentation, especially because it sums up in less than an hour, where we´ve been, where we are, and where we are hurtling towards in our construction industry! I am an American living in Spain and I´d like to offer myself for free to translate the subtitles or if you´d like to record a Spanish language voice-over for your 2016 presentation to get more hits for you in all the Spanish-speaking countries, as you may know there are several global engineering and construction companies based in Spain, including Sacyr the one that built the new Panamá canal.

[@waracana]

I really doubt he knew that..take it from a Spanish Architect and Construction Engineer living in the US for 5 years now. Thanks for the offer to translate though. Enjoy Spain if you are still there.

[@ianabruce]

Appropriate. Have you strolled around Barcelona? I think Antoni Gaudí was using a pre-computer form of generative design. ;-)

[@jasonhunter6125]

yeah, you got a grip of a lot of things, but you forgot one major one; the blockchain; how we move to a totally new Internet and how everything is monetized in a global ecosystem. Also, how we're finally moving to a free software model and still making money. Also, the term for the future is not cloud, it's crowd. Also, how we're moving to things like crowd sourcing, crowd rendering, crowd communication; Also, your software is still stuck in the polygon world; NURBS has been here for decades and you're still not up to par;)

[@mofi3641]

should we do things only because we can?

[@lorenzmuller3542]

Of couse not. But these things make life easier and more efficient.

[@Cbricklyne]

Why not just use a Genetic/Evolutionary Algorithm? (or re-purpose the several that already exist as plugins to Grasshopper, like Galapagos). All of these ideas are like 8-10 years from the past. It's great that Autodesk and Revit/Dynamo are finally catching up, (I guess?).

[@stefanotoneatto9045]

Excellent video. I've got some questions. Is there a way to model geometries like grasshopper did without using rhino but working just with dynamo? Time ago I needed to model some weird geometries for an historic palace and I did pretty much the same thing I've seen at minute 20:40 . The point is that I want to be shure what the best worklow is: Grasshopper + Rhino works fine for modelling and having a deep control on geometries while Dynamo is more for manipulating data from the model in Revit and managing it in schedules? Is this a correct vision of what to use during the project workflow? Thank you in advice Steve from Italy

[@reynacarbajal8096]

Very interesting and very good presentation. I am architect and development BIM, day by day I am impressed and I learn with the easiness that the technology develops in everything that we use daily. I'm interested in learning more about algorithms. In this way and with this technology the construction processes could be more efficient and much better although I feel that those who work in the construction world especially in Mexico need to devote more time to the training and learning of new technologies and to start accepting the Changes to make the work easier, faster and better quality.

[@isanoraorosmane6346]

Do u need to have any tutorial plugged in or is all the softs on soft

[@CrlsE094]

lol, there will be a time where the user will just ask the program the house they want by voice, and the program will generate the design. Then the user tells the program how they want the design, the program will provide all the possible and impossible resolved options with all the documentation in order to transfer the info to the machine that will build the physical house. So there will no longer be architects as we know today, but a person who is in charge to give maintenance to the program while there are creating a self-maintenance feature for the future. Because the program adopted all the methodology regarding building design and documentation and will generate the info automatically and adaptable to the user's choice. The user will say, just give me a building this way and will get it done by the software, and there will be no need for architects nor structural engineers and MEP professionals.

[@scottclute7443]

Yes,in the state of New York the construction industry is pumping out 3-D printed homes for a price of 300,000.00 each!!

[@ouicertes9764]

can computers recognize what a good design is besides efficiency?

It can learn based on the big data or it can be programmed to use bench-marks of what the programmer's idea on good design was so not really

[@hadiakmal9281]

Actually this is progressive. Rather than having to do rows and rows of piles manually, it would be better to have it automatically generated with all its dimension and necessary information in an excel spreadsheet. Generating piles columns and beams are faster than manually modelling it and other areas can be prioritized for real modelling in the BIM model especially in big infrastructure projects like Railways, tunnels, Plants and many more as opposed to buildings.

[@aryanagarwal673]

Is there a way to do it on Microsoft Paint??

[@TKTKTKTK2024]

That is really cool presentation and vision, but I am sure it won't be integrated as fast as you think it will. I have been working in the industry for many years now, and in various environments starting from starchitect atelier to huge architectural corporations (Mostly in Japan). And the progress in that field is very slow, It is too risky to implement new things, new software, when you are on tight schedule. People tend to stick the approaches they are comfortable with, rather than try something new, try to challenge themselves. Personally I do understand them. The environment of money making in corporations or egocentric in starshitects' offices forces you to be more productive and less creative, to reuse the forms and shapes that worked previously, and many many many hours of CAD re-drawings. Especially over some small things, and sometimes stupid things, that no AI will ever be able to conceive, yet it should be done.

[@jaredclaylong48]

I definitely expect a lot of documentation tasks to be automated at some point. Auto-dimensioning seems like an obvious one on the horizon. Revit already has auto-tagging built-in. Schedules already self-populate. Wouldn't be surprised at all if at some point there's a "Make Set" button that takes a model and produces 90% sheets from it, the technician then cleans things up and fills in specific details.
