A design office discusses consensus building and reduction of rework through the introduction of BIM.

Next year, the 100th anniversary of Ishimoto Architectural Office reveals the operation of BIM, which consolidates design information into a single model to enhance design quality within the organization.

Ishimoto Architectural Office, an organization design firm engaged in various projects including public architecture, is practicing architectural DX utilizing digital technology with the theme of "how to continuously enhance design quality as an organization," given its diverse bases and projects. Rather than viewing BIM as merely the introduction of software, it is seen as "a system that consolidates design information into a single model, ensuring consistency from consideration to sharing." The firm operates Archicad, which features intuitive operability and the philosophy of OpenBIM. By visualizing design intent based on the model, they achieve quicker consensus with clients and reduce revisions and rework. Furthermore, by establishing rules through guidelines, they minimize individual dependency and build a quality management system that remains consistent even when bases change. The full interview, discussing the realities of changes occurring on-site and prospects for the future use of AI and environmental design, is published in the catalog.
