- Abstract
- This paper aims to define the path object and its associated properties using
the building circulation path between space instances, and to suggest its practical
applications regarding design review issues using a series of numeric data of
building circulation (NDBC) from a given BIM model. Building circulation is one
of the significant factors in architectural planning and design. In the early phase
of spatial planning, it is critical to satisfy circulation-related design quality issues
for people, and to ensure full compliance with National Building Code and
standards. As BIM and its applications have been adopted in AEC industries, rich
informative data of building objects and useful digital representations have been
developed for such circulation review tasks. As an extended research to benefit
designers and circulation-related application developers, this paper focuses on the
BIM-enabled formal definition of the path object and properties, and the
demonstration of several analysis-purposed applications using the NDBC.
With the computation of rich spatial information in a BIM model, path objects
can be instantiated dynamically, and a specific data model for such building
circulation paths can be defined with series of numeric data sets. In this paper, the
formal definition of the path object and its properties are explored, and one of the
NDBC applications has been clarified and demonstrated for further circulation
analysis-purposed tasks using a software tool developed by the author. Circulation
analysis has been conducted by specific rule-checking software with static BIM
models; however, standardized BIM model (IFC) does not directly include building
circulation data. Hence the author believes there is a demand to store and reuse
the path objects with associated information dynamically populated from the BIM
models. Consequently, the definition of path objects with properties has led to the
development of NDBC and its associated software tool as one of the applications
for further circulation analysis.
The three main objectives of this work can be summarized as follows; 1)
Definition of the path object and its associated properties: In the part of path
objects, the author deals with a path object that concludes a start and target space
object. When the path object is generated from a BIM model, its properties are
calculated automatically. The author describes and defines the types of those
properties with the usability of design review issues. 2) Definition of NDBC with
building model: On the basis of path and property definition, comprehensive
numeric data of building circulation can be derived and computed from the entire
building model. Derived value of path properties as raw data has a potential to
expand its applicability such as the summation and average value of path objects ,
tracking related to other building components based on target path object, and so
on. 3) Implementation of external database of NDBC and its demonstration of
building circulation issues: NDBC can be implemented as an external database for
reviewing path objects and properties, comparing NDBC between path objects, and
other expanded applications based on review purposes. By using the NDBC
application, this paper demonstrates some actual building circulation review cases.
