In this lecture, Koray Pekeriçli who is specialist about construction management gave some information about intelligent/smart buildings. He mentioned about communication ways using in architecture with today’s technology.
In a construction project clients, architects, workers, civil engineers and other consultants work together. And to understand project in same manner, some tools has been used. Design communication has different material. Sketches, 2D drawings, 3D drawing and models are used in architecture as communication tools from past to present. The all tools are used in the past ant present but the technique of the drawings has been changed while changing technology. In the past architectural drawing was completely manual. So it needs a big workforce. But now the drawings, calculations..etc are done with computer. And it has some opportunities, which will be mentioned.
To understand construction process in past and present, he gave some information about construction of Empire State Building as a fact, which is a successful example of that time. In today, that technique using in construction of Empire State Building is not working. Because;
- Buildings are even more complex
- Many service embedded
- Efficiency standards require advanced solutions
- Extreme customization of form and functions
- Innovative materials and new detail solutions
- Health and safety requirements complicate the whole construction process
- Operation of facilities require more information from earlier stages
Because of these reasons, today CADD is been used as a tool. The benefits of computer aided design and draft is efficiency, consistency, reusability and repeatability.
Then, he gave some information about Building Information Modeling which defined as “an intelligent simulation of architecture”. And it has 6 key characterictics of BIM;
- Digital
- Spatial (3D)
- Meaasurable
- Comprehensive
- Accessible
- Durable
BIM manage the whole process even the electricity, cables, structural organisations, mechanical system etc. It focuses on products and processes. It stores all the information to complete and describe the project.
