BIM (Building Information Modeling) The Latest Curve in Technology

This past fall, 20 students of diverse back-grounds began a course of graduate studyat the Stevens Institute of Technology. Members of an inaugural class of a newpost-professional interdisciplinary designprogram will earn a Master’s of Engineeringin Product-Architecture. As the foundingdirector of this program, my objective is toencourage these future design and buildingprofessionals to embrace collaborative work methods as they pursue nascent topics in design in the context of manufacturingmethodologies and advanced material studies. The primary goal is to exploreintense and creative collaborationsbetween designers, engineers, scientists and manufacturers.

In its inaugural year, The Product-Architecture Lab, as it has become known,has captured the national attention of innovators in the design industry. GehryTechnologies of Los Angeles; an emergentbranch of Gehry Partners dedicated to buildingdesign and construction technology, BuroHappold Engineers in New York City; theAEC industry’s leader in engineering designintegrating advanced computer technology,SHoP; a renegade architectural studio inNew York City and Tri-Pyramid Structures;an integrated design and manufacturingcompany based in Westford, Massachusetts,are all among the program’s close advisersand research collaborators.

The following is a Q & A session betweenAnthony Iovino, AIA, former president of theArchitects League of Northern New Jerseyand John Nastasi, Architect and Director ofthe Graduate Program in Product-Architectureat Stevens. The questions offered up byAnthony Iovino are directed at currentissues in the AEC industry and attempts toillicit answers to important questions thatcould hypothetically come from the youngintern completing his/her IDP to the established business owner practicing architecture today:

AI: What does the term, Product-Architecture mean to you?

JN: Product-Architecture is the realm ofdesign where the boundaries between prod-ucts, furniture and building components aredissolved. It is when architects, designers,mechanical engineers and manufacturersare working collaboratively and not with thetraditional and obsolete modes of hierarchy.

AI: At the core of the new graduate program at Stevens is what is being called“Building Information Modeling”. Can you

explain what this entails and how it isdifferent from what we currently understandas digital modeling?

JN: Building Information Modeling, asarchitects are beginning to understand, isessentially the evolution of solid modelingwhich has been in the mechanical designindustry for over 25 years. Once isolated onUnix platforms in the automotive and aerospace industries, this technology hasmigrated into the AEC industry by way ofthe evolved powerful personal computer.Once C.A.T.I.A., an acronym for ComputerAided Three-dimensional InteractiveApplication, became available on the PCplatform, innovators such as Gehry Partnerspioneered the way for the rest of us.

As an aside to this, it is ironic and paradoxicalthat it took Gehry and his unconventionaland unorthodox methods of design andreverse engineering to illustrate the powerfulimplications that parametric modeling canhave on the rest of the more conventionalAEC building industry.

AI: Can you elaborate on that point?

JN: Yes. Gehry essentially makes papersculptural models that are transposed intothe computer by way of 3-d laser scanningmethodologies. He is designing an exteriorskin and post-rationalizing an inner skeletonto accommodate and support that skin. Thisis a very inefficient way of working andmaking. Gehry is using a tool that embodiesefficiency and mass production and uses itin a very idiosyncratic and “one-off” way.

AI: Back to the explanation of BuildingInformation Modeling…

JN: OK, Building Information Modeling, inthe context of what we were just speakingabout, is at its core, based on the constrainingand parameterization of geometry. Youbegin, in the parametric environment, justas you did in the days of pencil and paper.You produce an intuitive sketch whichembodies a gesture or idea. Over time, andin no particular order, you can add, remove orclarify the sketch by introducing relationships

between geometry, dimensional data or contextual hierarchy. The sketch evolvesover the course of design into a fullyempowered drawing that establishes all of the necessary information required totranspose from sketch (drawing), to object,and from object (part) to building component (assembly).

This is the first time in over twenty years,since the implementation of AutoCad intothe architectural office, that drawing isreturning to an intuitive, gestural and cre-ative endeavor. Anthony, the sketch moduleof the parametric environment returns us toour days in undergraduate school togetherat Pratt where drawing with pencil on

vellum was our belief system. However,here, the sketch can continually evolve overtime to a fully developed system.

For instance, and it is not easy talking aboutthis stuff without the benefits of a computerscreen, if a hypothetical plan of a speculativeoffice building must have a length to depthratio of 2 to 1, then the designer can incor-porate that proportion system as a parameterin the sketch of the overall floor plate. Asyou subsequently place that floor plate onspeculative site after speculative site, youhave the ability to adjust and augment theplan of the building while maintaining itsinherent proportion system that may have to do with an efficiency system beyond theunderstanding of its site. Here, you haveflexibility in design without compromisingefficiency. This is what is being referred toas “Mass Customization”.

The same type of constraining geometry canapply to floor to floor heights, depth ofstructure to span, as well as proportion ofglazed openings to opaque wall systems.You, as the designer, establish the over-rid-ing parameters of design.

AI: As I research this topic I find that ideallyno paper drawings are involved. At this

President’s Column

The first few months of 2005 have been fullof interesting and exiting new programs forthe Architects League, AIA New Jersey andthe national AIA.

The State Leadership Conference was held in Trenton, NJ on January 29th. Stacey RuhleKliesch, Frank Cunha, Kim Vierheilig, andmyself represented the Architects League for a day of fellowship and learning. Sectionleaders from across the state discussed the ways each of the sections performs its duties, the potential collaboration thatexists between the various sections, and theways in which the sections and the stateexecutive committee can work together tostrengthen the benefits to our members.The meeting also featured an overview ofthe scope of services provided by PublicStrategies/ Impact, presented by JoeSimonetta, and a review of the AIA-NJ Long Range Strategic Plan, presented byDavid Del Vecchio.

On February 9-12, Stacey Ruhle Kliesch,Larry Parisi, and myself attended the AIAGrassroots Leadership and LegislativeConference in Washington, DC. The high-light of annual event is the advocacy program. On Thursday, Feb 10, 750 AIAarchitects visited representatives and senators on Capitol Hill in the hopes ofadvancing key legislation that effects our profession and the built environment.Although the Institute recognizes 17 significant pieces of legislation, four ofthese were deemed imminent and were tobe our prime talking points. The prime issueis the updating of the federal tax credit forthe rehabilitation of historic buildings intoaffordable housing. This bill, which is knownas the Portman-Jefferson Act, was lobbiedby every architect that visited the Hill. Wealso discussed brownfields redevelopment,the mandatory use of photovoltaic energy in federal buildings as a way to introducesolar energy to the mainstream, and aTransportation /Community Enhancementstudy. Issue briefs for all of these topics can be found at www.AIA.org.

One of the prime focuses for the AIA in thecoming few years is to increase our involve-ment in our communities and strengthen ourvoices in the governmental arena concern-ing the build environment. They are callingall AIA members to be an active voice inmunicipal land use issues, local planningand zoning boards, and school career days.National AIA has recently focused heavily ongovernmental advocacy, and are becoming a recognized entity on Capitol Hill. The goalis to be recognized on all levels of govern-ment, so that a local mayor or councilmanwill know to call you when looking foradvice on planning, zoning, or developmentissues. They envision architects as thestewards of the built environment. In recentstudies, the general public stated that theylooked to us, the architects, to help makethose decisions.

On the local front, the Architects Leagueheld the first of our moveable feasts at theStryker Orthopedics Facility in Mahwah, NJ.Kevin Gore, our programs chair, who wasintricately involved with the project, developed this event. The evening featureda building tour and a roundtable discussioninvolving the designer, builder, owner, andmunicipal inspector, emphasizing the benefitsof early collaboration in the delivery of asuccessful project. This event was a greatsuccess and we hope to have a series ofthese ‘case study’ meetings throughout the year and into the future. If you have a project that would make an interestingmoveable feast location, please contactKevin Gore with the details. We are always looking to celebrate the successes of our members.

ack upon in the future.

BIM - The Latest Curve in Technology

When deciding upon the focus for our 2Q Technology Issue theeditorial committee discussednumerous ways that computersand software have impacted ourprofession. In particular, how weproduce and deliver our services.Looking forward, we recognizethe trends/directions that softwarecompanies and educational institutions alike are heading in.Computer renderings and three-dimensional drafting techniquesare the understandable precursorto Building Information Modelingor BIM, as it is known. This is whywe chose this opportunity to writeabout this particular subject.

Earlier last year the Board ofALNNJ was treated to a tour of the newly created Product-Architecture Lab at StevensInstitute of Technology inHoboken. John Nastasi, RA thedirector of this new program, alsobriefed us on the graduate studyprogram they offered. This visitpiqued the curiosity of many whoattended as it is obviously goingto transform how we design anddocument our work.

There are many resources to furtheryou knowledge of this emergingforce. Several of the softwarecompanies (AutoDesk, Bentley,and Graphisoft) have web-basedseminars and information abouttheir products. The AIA’s web sitealso has significant informationand the AIA National Conventionwill also have continuing educationseminars on BIM. Be sure to lookit up if you are going.

Cover Story

stage of the technology's development andgiven how most architects currently work, is this paperless project achievable?

JN: (laughing) Saying that this process ispaperless is simply not true. 15 years ago,when Bernard Tschumi stepped in as Deanof Columbia and established the “paperlessstudio”, everyone thought the same thing. In hindsight, that movement at Columbiaseemed to create a tremendous amount ofevocative and sophisticated renderedimages of blobs, undulating surfaces andbeautiful shades and shadows. It never wasreally about being paperless, but in fact wasconstrained to only paper in that the renderingbecame the end and not a means to an end.

Here, the parametric environment, althoughpredominantly digital, relies on the technol-ogy’s ability to “automate” 2d output intothe more conventional environment ofAutocad. The parametric model is the meansto an end. The end is manufacturability;making. The amazing thing here is that

the 2d output, once the laborious core ofarchitectural offices and design services, isnow automated. More time can be spent ondesign and most importantly, on thinkingthree-dimensionally about making. Thepaper output; 2D plans, sections and detailsare direct output from the model for distri-bution purposes to clients, consultants, contractors and governing authorities.

The epiphany comes when the three dimensional information model gets alteredthroughout the design process. When thisoccurs, as it seemingly always does, the 2Doutput (plans, sections, etc) are automatical-ly updated as they are digitally linked to theinformation model. It creates an automateddraftsman….

AI: That reminds me of a group of industrialengineers that were neighbors of ours inEdgewater. They had intense 3-D modelingsoftware about 10 years ago!

JN: Once again, we as architects are beingexposed to things that existed in otherindustries decades ago…… At Stevens, the mechanical engineers laugh at me whenI talk about parametric modeling as a newvehicle for architects. However, mechanicalengineers have been working in this matter,on platforms such as C.A.T.I.A., Pro-Engineerand Solidworks, since the mid 80’s…..

AI: You have a small design studio inHoboken, not unlike a lot of offices in NewJersey, correct? Have you implemented thismethodology in your practice? If so, has this worked successfully on your recent collaborations?

JN: Yes, yes and we’ll see. We startedintroducing this technology slowly and overtime into my office about three years ago.We started with small controllable projectslike furniture pieces and built-ins. We immediately realized that once a piece isdesigned and developed such as adesk/bench, we very efficiently were able to re-implement the design in a host ofother configurations for other clients. So, in a sense, we were developing a cohesivebody of work with similarities of materials,connections and detailing. This is not unlikethe early days of AutoCad when architectsbegan building digital libraries of details.However, in this context, the final product is much more customizable and malleablewithout losing efficiency and design intent.

More recent projects in my studio today are larger and increasingly more complex; a pre-assembled suburban house prototypein Woodcliff Lake and a mid-rise mixed usebuilding for a cutting edge recording studioin Hoboken.

AI: How do you see this technology, thewhole BIM concept, changing our profession?

JN: Your questions get right to thepoint……

Working in this manner, the architect ordesigner can re-establish himself as a master-builder. Building Information Modelingembodies geometric conditions (Design),materiality (Craft), physical properties(Engineering) and assembly(Construction/Manufacturing). It forces us to work comprehensively again and to beconscious at all times of the final goal,which is always to realize our ideas throughbuilding …… It is an extremely practicalapplication with tremendous implications onthe way our industry can efficiently improveon a day to day basis.

About the Program:

The Graduate Program in Product-Architecture At Stevens is a two-year postprofessional graduate program offering thedegree of Master of Engineering in Product-Architecture.

The current student body, a mix of architects,engineers, product designers, mathemati-cians and computer scientists, have comefrom undergraduate programs across thecountry including Columbia University,Cooper Union, NJIT, Rhode Island School of Design, Vassar, Savannah College of Art, Georgia Tech, University of Michigan,Bucknell University, Carnegie Mellon,University of Cincinnatti and Cal-Berkeley.Once together, the students are grouped ininterdisciplinary teams and work collaboratively

on funded research projects. Current designand research projects include:

■ A transparent enclosure and interactiveexhibition for the British Airways Concorde,sponsored by the Intrepid Sea, Air andSpace Museum in New York City.

■ Curtain wall design and development forthe Fashion Institute of Technology in NewYork City, as sponsored by and in collaborationwith SHoP Architects in New York City.

■ Information and Interaction Design for an undisclosed commercial airline launch.

■ Theater and Acoustic design forGoldman Sachs Corp., as sponsored by andin collaboration with SHoP Architects inNew York City.

■ Apse-traction - The design of a modernapse for a Norweigen Christian Church inHoboken, NJ, sponsored by and in collabo-ration with Dean Marchetto, AIA ofHoboken, NJ.

■ Sub-Urban Prototype - The design of a pre-assembled private residence inWoodcliff Lake, NJ, as sponsored by itsclient, Greg and Arpie Najarian of WoodcliffLake, NJ and in collaboration with NastasiArchitects of Hoboken, NJ.

The program is headquartered in Stevens’shistoric Carnegie Laboratory—a facility thatat the turn of the last century emerged as astate of the art manufacturing facility. Withthe recent addition of an advanced digitalmedia lab, —a suite of PCs and Macs;design software such as CATIA, DigitalProject, Solidworks and scripting environ-ments such as Flash, Apache and PHP; 3Dscanners; and other gear --- the Product-Architect Lab leaps into this new century at the forefront of design.
