Success Plan: Computational and Generative Design for Buildings
The ability to develop automation for design in a visual scripting environment that allows you to automate processes, analyze, understand, create, and apply design logic; then create design optimization studies, analyze results, and automate design development.
Course overview
The ability to develop automation for design in a visual scripting environment that allows you to automate processes, analyze, understand, create, and apply design logic; then create design optimization studies, analyze results, and automate design development.
- Are you adopting capabilities and workflows at an introductory level with limited definition or regulation? Would you like to uncover design optimization processes with discovery sessions, automated through computational BIM capabilities, and optimizations tested on a project-by-project basis?
- For Generative BIM and workflows, can you repeat the same steps for wider adoption across the organization? Does design optimization occur in silos throughout the design process but on multiple projects?
- Have your generative BIM and associated workflows reached a level of industry-wide achievable practice? Are your capability processes solid and repeatable with minimal risk, and key optimizations are standardized by project typology?
- Do your practices, outcomes, and insights need to allow for targeted process refinement with Generative BIM such that optimizations are no longer occurring in a silo by phase but are considered in a holistic way throughout the project timeline? Do you need to work through redefining project strategy by optimizing complex design issues with high levels of inter-dependency of capabilities?
- Are your capability and workflow developments targeted for defining state of the art practices and maximizing impact of business outcomes and values? Do you need to shift your project strategy to outcome-based design with design optimization and data driving building that are designed to perform optimally?
