Recent wave of technological developments has introduced modern concepts for the AEC industry like BIM (Building Information Modeling), VDC (Virtual Design and Construction), GIS (Geographic information System), etc. and software applications enabling their implementation. These innovations have tremendously aided in enhancing outputs in a short time, allowing companies under the industry to flourish. This has given rise to a cut throat competition in the market.<\/p>
Designing and constructing one structure that can come to be recognized as an architectural marvel earns far better competitive edge for a firm than erecting 10 clichéd cubical buildings that get lost in the sea of similar structures. So stand out and gain superiority over competition, construction companies need to push their designing limits by experimenting with physics, patterns and geometry to derive unconventional, impressive and unique designs.<\/p>
This is where façade BIM modeling comes in. By making use of it allows users to plan, design and build stunning structures that leave onlookers in awe.<\/p>
Façade refers to a side, usually the front, of the building as perceived by a viewer from the outside. The term originates from an Italian word ‘facciata’ which means a building’s exterior face. The front face of the building that comprises of the main entrance is the façade of the structure. The back façade constitutes of the building’s back outer wall while the side facades are the building’s exterior walls on either of its sides.<\/p>
