Irregular shaped building design optimization with Building Information Modelling

This research is to recognise the function of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in design optimization for irregular shaped buildings. The study focuses on a conceptual irregular shaped "twisted" building design similar to some existing sculpture-like architectures. Form and function ar...
