Description
Ishimoto Architects and Engineers, founded in 1927, is an architectural design firm with experts in architecture, structure, and MEP. To achieve better architecture, it’s essential to integrate intelligent models across disciplines and adopt a holistic design approach. We use Revit software to create simulation environments and optimize overall designs. Currently, Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism is accelerating BIM-based building permit submissions, requiring intelligent models with vast amounts of data. As BIM managers who also practice design, we can immediately address real-world challenges and provide feedback. For mid-sized firms without dedicated BIM teams, this agile approach is a practical way to integrate BIM smoothly. This session will share how our practices have transformed our project processes.
