BIM collaborative design standards for small-to-medium design firms
BIM adoption has long suffered from "model-use disconnection." This research develops BIM standards for small-to-medium firms based on 5 project experiences.
Survey of 30 design firms: 72% build models unused after design. Key barriers: inconsistent LOD (58%), model info issues (47%), cross-platform data loss (38%).
LOD100 concept → LOD200 schematic → LOD300 construction docs → LOD400 fabrication → LOD500 operations, covering 5 disciplines and 136 checkpoints.
136 coordination checkpoints across 5 disciplines: design coordination (82), construction reserves (35), operational requirements (19).
Piloted in 5 projects: model reuse 35%→82%, design changes -40%, rework -25%. Open-source release planned for 2025 with docs, templates, scripts, and training.
Anchored in individual roles, exploring new symbiotic relationships between humans, space, and technology in future society.
Focusing on vertical community practices in East Asian high-density urban contexts, evaluating spatial quality, social interaction, and community identity.
Proposing a "cultural resilience" theoretical framework for industrial heritage regeneration.
Comparing waterfront regeneration practices in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Zhuhai to extract replicable paradigms.
