Abstract

Abstract : Do building information modelling (BIM) systems sufficiently cater for the subtleties of the architect's role?Tristan Gobin, Sebastian Andraos and Thibault Schwartz of London‐based robot control specialists HAL Robotics think not. They advocate the development of systems that offer more levels of abstraction, allowing architects, engineers and others who are not necessarily familiar with source code to assist in the elaboration of platform languages. Only then will they become true tools for creativity that reinforce continuity between the various actors involved in building design and construction.
