DFG/FOR 2363: Bewertung von Gebäudeentwurfsvarianten in frühen Entwurfsphasen auf Basis adaptiver Detaillierungsstrategien

EarlyBIM:
Visual Exploration for Assessing Design Variants
Motivation
Evaluation of design variants is currently largely based on the experience of architects

Objectifiable criteria are only partially and detached from the creative activity
Opposing variant evaluations are inadequate
The causes lie in the lack of the necessary model detailing and in the lack of process integration

Scientific goals
Description of the interaction process with associated procedures including partial or complete detailing
Formal representation of the interactions including documentation and support for the traceability of the decisions
Evaluation support based on interactive visual exploration & representation of e.g. simulation results
Concepts for situation-related result representations

Results
A) Interactions with analysis / simulation methods

formal description of strategies in partial or complete model detailing (feedback mechanisms)
Systematics of an adaptive, minimized, computer-interpretable BIM-based protocol
Recommendations for action for visual representation methods including interaction mechanisms
Concept of a comprehensible documentation of the interactions and selection of options in the adaptive detailing
prototypical implementation and evaluation


B) Comparative visual representation of the resuts

Derivation of visualization recommendations for analysis and simulation results
Conception of a rule-based bottom-up and a template-based top-down approach
Derivation of visual methods to support the selection of variants
Concept for the documentation of the selection - quantitative criteria and (partly) qualitative criteria
prototypical implementation and evaluation
