The AECO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Owner-Operations) industry is notorious for delivering projects that are over budget, completed late, and leave much to be desired operationally once completed. Much of this reputation comes from the fact that the industry’s approach to adoption digital technology has lagged behind other industries, with one of the main problems being a lack of a common framework for the storage and transmittance of increasingly large and complex amounts of information across increasingly numerous amount of stakeholders. Whilst in the past 10-15 years the idea of Building Information Modelling (BIM) was seen to be a solution to this problem, we have yet to see the industry change significantly in its effectiveness. There are many reasons for this, however, one stumbling blocks for BIM is that so far, BIM has manifested itself as a proprietary, 'one software fits all' solution. This follows in the tradition of AECO valuing ‘off-the-shelf’ software, starting with CAD and Excel in the 90’s, exclusively for all technological solutions. However, for an industry where every property/project is somewhat different, demands bespoke solutions, and the solutions rely on expertise from numerous discipline experts, this tradition is simply not sustainable. In this talk, we will briefly introduce how we have arrived at this paradigm and how bespoke computational consulting is rapidly disrupting this paradigm. The key shift in the dynamics that has happened is that the industry is shifting from emphasis on software adoption to skills adoption - namely, coding skills. Whilst for years the concept of ‘parametric design’ or ‘generative design’ have been promoted in the industry, these are terms that are still not well understood and whose use case studies usually serve to myopically optimize one discipline’s work to the detriment of others. We will show how by using computation, transdisciplinary models can be leveraged to create data-driven insights for bespoke design, development, and operational situations like never before. This method can be used at all stages of property development - from site selection to operations - and on any scale - from building to city scale. Anybody who is passionate about the future of the built environment, property development, and construction will not want to miss this talk!
