• Resumen

  • Rapid urbanisation across the globe and far-reaching technological changes are transforming urban design. Building Information modelling (BIM) is combining 3D modelling techniques and the employment of rich datasets, which is eliding the gap between the disciplines of architecture and engineering. This is enabling the introduction of a new level of complexity in the modelling of cities and the simulation and testing of urban and environmental conditions. Rob May, an Associate Director at BuroHappold Engineering and the leader of the structures team in Beijing, reflects on the potential of complex bespoke processes for creative problem-solving in the urban context.
