BIM and Fabrication

A workshop at Columbia has displayed the advantages of BIM when addressing fabrication issues.  After researching precedents of various facades, this group of students was able to design their own compelling facade while working in Revit simultaneously.  Through this technology and with the collaboration of a fabricator, they made their design a reality.  Such projects highlight the benefits of BIM as a tool for design, one which reveals construction issues and allows for the creation of a marketable product.
