With a tremendous rise in demand for algorithmic solutions, dwipbox talks about BIM, the architectural technology that has superpowered the conventional ways of design and execution of buildings.

The creative potential of humans is the driving force behind their evolving civilization. The designing and planning enclosures of space is a form of art for human utilization. If creativity was to be taken out of architecture, we would find ourselves in raw forms of various disciplines like social science, history, operational analysis, math, etc. It would be equivalent to a body without a soul.

Historically, architecture and design have relied on visualizing the project based on sketches, physical model and drawings. However, over time, innovation has played an important role in the designing of services to meet the challenges of rapid change in development. During the 20th century, CAD developed into the mainstream software for designing architectural drawings and schedules; which can then be shared electronically for structural and service layouts. At present, this process is undertaken by a logical conclusion with the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM). BIM uses a 3 dimensional model of the structure with input from all disciplines to build a unified design of the project.
