Lansdowne Road- Ireland Pipe Planning using BMI
economist.com
Building Information Modeling (BMI) is a new software used by architects in the construction of buildings. It allows one to see the proposed structure in 3 dimensions instead of the usual 2 dimension hand drawn drawn blueprints. One neat function of BMI is that when an architects changes and object on the building ( such as the size of a window) then the program automatically changes the structure of any relating objects ( in this case the surrounding walls). BMI makes it much harder to make the common mistakes which most architects make and it also allows traditional 2 dimension drawings to be generated. BMI allows one to predict the amount of materials required for the structure and therefore more accurate construction costs. BMI makes is possible to extract detailed plans of particular subsystems, such as cooling, water and electrical wiring which in turn allows architects and engineers to study their project's and work together better than ever before. Where traditional 2 dimension blueprints are often complicated, new BMI simulations allow you to see the entire building from many angles, inside and out. This new technology is going to require more advanced computer skills in upcoming architects but it will no doubt improve the creativity and possibly safety of our future buildings.
