Arch462 | Profession and Practice [ weekly commentary]
Week 14 | BIM
In our last Arch462 course we have our guest Onur Özkoç to tell us about his way of embracing BIM. We talk about how BIM changed effect and bring to the architecture and construction disciplines. There are three major topics at the presentation as change in demand, role of BIM and what we are goıng to face with BIM’s arrival. In the demand part, we see that the client we work with change by the time and their needs and expectations are also changed. Very big difference is that in the past there were patrons and let architect do what they know to do and provide the financial side of the work. However, todays conditions are differing as architect first responsibility is make his client happy and provide every need of him. “They say that architecture is an art but artists are free people, architects not.” I believe it sums up the condition. Clients priorities also sift, they consider time and money more than anything. Because projects get bigger, number of people and discipline also increase. Here is the architect’s most difficult responsibility comes, architect is the person that gathers and builds the connection between every single part. Architects have very vied spectrum of work and making them took more time than designing. BIM’s major benefit is that BIM able the users, participants to work coordinated and cooperatively. It provides project to end in a shorter time with near to no mistake way.
