Streamlining the Bottleneck: From Concept to Schematic Design
In any architectural design project, the transition from conceptual design to schematic design typically marks the evolution from broad ideas and massing studies to more detailed and refined planning. While this transition may seem straightforward, architects often find themselves facing a bottleneck that complicates the seamless flow of the creative process- particularly due to siloed tools and workflows.

In any architectural design project, the transition from conceptual design to schematic design typically marks the evolution from broad ideas and massing studies to more detailed and refined planning. While this transition may seem straightforward, architects often find themselves facing a bottleneck that complicates the seamless flow of the creative process- particularly due to siloed tools and workflows.
During initial feasibility studies, conceptual surface modeling tools provide fertile ground for shaping spaces and manipulating forms. They allow for quick iterations and facilitate building the essence of the design. However, these models lack the inherent data understood by BIM software like Revit and ArchiCAD. As a result, eventually transitioning to such BIM tools for further detailing leads architects to face a series of technical limitations and rework.
