EARLY ARCHITECTURE DESIGN QUALITY OPTIMIZATION USING BIM

Abstract

Architecture design quality is highly dependent on optimizing the early phases of the design process. For this purpose, it’s important to identify the quality guidelines that could optimize architecture quality while being attainable at such early phases. Building information modeling (BIM) can easily contribute to optimizing early architecture design while providing a solution to the design challenges faced at the early design phases. Therefore, this thesis aims at maximizing the role of BIM in optimizing the architecture design process in the early phases; by providing a framework that clarifies the possible BIM contributions and potentials.
