Kuidas muudab mudelprojekteerimine teraskonstruktsioonide valmistamist ja ehitamist
analyzed in the context of the two construction projects. What was discovered, is that one
of the reasons why there has been an increase in the design and construction of buildings
with highly complicated geometry is the advent of 3D and BIM tools.
While it would have been theoretically possible to build the Seattle Central Library and
the Denver Art Museum using the traditional 2D approach, the added time and cost would
have made such endeavors financially unfeasible. Therefore, 3D and BIM speed up the
design, fabrication and construction process by enabling the preconstruction team to
assemble the building in virtual space before the actual construction begins. The design
takes place in a more concurrent fashion – instead of one consultant handing over its
drawings to the next person, project members are brought together earlier, during
preconstruction, so they can all work on the same model. Even when people are in
