Applying BIM to Parametric Automation Modeling- A Case Study of Dou Gong

Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a substantial system to increase intelligent construction which bring about parametric design popularity, it not only increases integration of building information, but also benefits in designing process. However, in Yinzou Fashi, it standardizes the size, scale, combination of components and layouts, which implies parametric processes. Therefore, this study aims to apply parametric modeling to Yinzou Fashi to seek the possibilities in parametric design. The process of this research firstly, to review the connotation of parametric design, secondly, to study and analyze the components of Yinzou Fashi Dou Gong, thirdly, taking parametric to modeling. Finally, evaluate the performance of the model. It is not only constructed refined parametric model, but also created a Dou Gong parametric design platform for further usage. For instance, applying for future designs, educations, references, for further research and so on, it can also be analyzed by other programs such as structural analysis and construction simulation.
