BIM_Building Information Modelling & 'Clash Detection' Approach



BIM Clash Detection Approach – Whilst the software (algorithm) can be programmed and scripted to account for specific variables, the prime focus should still be on a human (conscious) ‘sense check’ due to awareness of the overall impact and consequences of all inputs, mindful of logic and rationale of the project.   

“Clash Detection” software should be used as a secondary tool to help pick up discrepancies (“clashes”) that may have been overlooked.

In simple terms: allow the machine to do the labour intensive stuff because it is faster and more efficient than you. In turn it frees up time for you to to think, design and manually check overall intent and vision for the project.

Understand Context

Observe and investigate the environment and history of a place in intimate detail. Whilst this method demands time it yields an informed response from you by default. This method culminates opportunities for constructive resolve and reason. Avoid quixotic investigation - whilst recording your (subjective) perception of place is important, the fundamental logistics should be driving objective observation. Search for novelties - perhaps there are those that can provide feedback and direction through experience. Remember to test the connections. Exploring the core of your posed question(s) should be a theoretical and physical practice in unison.

Education

In an exhaustive attempt to avoid gross simplification; education should be available to all. The fundamental intent of any School is to provide access to tested, proven and objective tools which the human collective have discovered and developed thus far. Following exposure to what we already know, each individual should be encouraged/taught/inspired to *think* (emphasis on original thought), ask the right questions and utilise methodologies to draw upon logic and rational enquiry. Naturally deter bias and not just recite information (we have devices for that). Rather, aim to identify the connections and significance of the data. It is also apparent that we cannot simply rely on a/one faculty to teach us and our children everything. We are limited by time and capacity, so focus on useful lessons, what is important to you and explore.
