Seems pretty clear to me that the future of a strong "integrated" delivery practice is to start a project with a "completed" generalized solution whose automated optimization is guided by expert and artful voices (human). This is the type of thinking in the AEC domain that is fundament to getting their.
At KOPE, we don't believe in creating or maintaining BIM libraries. We think this will be a thing of the past for the AEC industry. As we move towards productisation, we need to capture the intelligence of elements and building systems in a different way. We shouldn't need to manually create geometry such as a Revit family, or push and pull extrusions in Rhino to articulate design. We shouldn’t ask manufacturers to create “BIM objects” and then expect designers to use them without breaking them. Instead, we should be able to describe building components by their rules, their constraints & their specifications, and leverage software to generate designs. This is how we truly take advantage of manufacturing principles in construction without expecting designers to understand the implications and nuance of each product at every step of the journey. The image below shows a snippet of a live project in KOPE currently. This project has around 13,000 wall cassettes in it, and each wall panel shows its profiles, layers and connections. Yet no individual has ever modelled any of them. All of those panels are generated purely through code, within a matter of minutes. We foresee a future in AEC, where more and more detailed geometry will be generated on the fly like this, without requiring each component to be modelled in the traditional way we are all accustomed to.
