Convergence
There is today a pronounced and accelerated convergence in architecture. This convergence is occurring by doers not thinkers; in practice not academia; in building design, fabrication, and construction. It is about solution-centric individuals engaged in real time problem solving, not in abstractions. The nature of this convergence, where things are converging and what that means for architecture, is the subject of this book. – from the IntroductionThose working in architecture and engineering feel pressure to work faster, at lower cost, while maintaining a high level of innovation and quality. At the same time, emergent tools and processes make this possible. Convergence is about the firms, teams and people who thrive in this environment as a result of their ability to creatively combine and innovate. It seeks to answer several timely questions: What are the tools and work processes that are converging? How are individuals and organizations converging their tools and work processes? What challenges and benefits are they seeing? What is the ultimate endgame of this convergence? What skillsets and mindsets would someone need to develop to work effectively in this changing environment? What are the implications of convergence on the role of the designer, and on design? On how we design, build, fabricate, and construct? On how we work?The book explains how convergence relates to, but ultimately differs from integration, consolidation, multi-tasking, automation, and other forms of optimization. The practice-based research builds upon the author’s research in BIM and in the collaborative leveraging of data in design and fabrication. As an investigation and meditation on the impact of technology on the education and making of design professionals Convergence explains what is happening in the world of design, and discusses the implications for the future of education, training and practice.

BIM and integrated design
“Ready or not, it’s high time to make BIM a part of your practice, or at least your vocabulary, and this book has as much to offer beginners as it does seasoned users of building information modeling software.” —Chicago Architect The first book devoted to the subject of how BIM affects individuals and organizations working within the ever-changing construction industry, BIM and Integrated Design discusses the implementation of building information modeling software as a cultural process with a focus on the technology’s impact and transformative effect—both potentially disruptive and liberating—on the social, psychological, and practical aspects of the workplace. BIM and Integrated Design answers the questions that BIM poses to the firm that adopts it. Through thorough research and a series of case study interviews with industry leaders—and leaders in the making out from behind the monitor—BIM and Integrated Design helps you learn: Effective learning strategies for fully understanding BIM software and its use Key points about integrated design to help you promote the process to owners and your team How BIM changes not only the technology, process, and delivery but also the leadership playing field How to become a more effective leader no matter where you find yourself in the organization or on the project team How the introduction of BIM into the workforce has significant education, recruitment, and training implications Covering all of the human issues brought about or exacerbated by the advent of BIM into the architecture workplace, profession, and industry, BIM and Integrated Design shows how to overcome real and perceived barriers to its use.

Workflows : expanding architecture's territory in the design and delivery of buildings
Workflows are being rethought and remodelled across the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) spectrum. The synthesis of building information modelling (BIM) platforms with digital simulation techniques and increasing access to data, charting building performance, is allowing architects to engage in the generation of new workflows across multidisciplinary teams. By merging digital design operations with construction activities, project delivery and post-occupation scenarios, architects are becoming instrumental in the shaping of buildings as well as the design process. Workflows expand the territory of architectural practice by extending designers' remit beyond the confines of the design stage. The implications for the AEC industry and architecture as a profession could not be greater. These new collaborative models are becoming as important as the novel buildings they allow us to produce. Contributors include: Shajay Bhooshan, John Cays, Randy Deutsch, Sean Gallagher, Ian Keough, Peter Kis, Jonathan Mallie, Adam Modesitt, Rhett Russo, Dale Sinclair, and Stacie Wong. Featured architects: Arup, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, GLUCK+, GRO Architects, PLANT, Populous, Young & Ayata, and Zaha Hadid Architects.

Introduction
This chapter presents an introduction to the book \"Convergence: The Redesign of Design\" by Randy Deutsch. This book, as an investigation and meditation on the impact of technology on the education and making of design professionals, sees convergence as a way to explain and illustrate what is happening now in the world of architectural design, as well as to discuss the implications for the future of education, training, and practice. Chapter 1 looks at other fields that have experienced convergence, and explains how convergence relates to, but ultimately differs from, integration, consolidation, multi‐tasking, automation, and other forms of optimization. Chapters 2 through 8 explore convergences in contemporary design practice that now occur at the meeting of two seemingly opposite forces: data and intuition; analytics and model; parametrics and computation; virtual and physical; design and fabrication; and conception and construction. Architects in particular are about to go through a period of intense change, a transformation brought about due to convergence. An understanding of the convergence that is taking place is pivotal to practice and how architects will work in the years ahead.

CONCEPTION AND CONSTRUCTION
This chapter discusses how building information modeling (BIM) is bridging the gap between design and construction, examining a stronger connection between what is designed, built, and how it operates brought forth by the use of BIM at the onset of the design phase. The dissolution of the conventional breaking points in the construction and completion phases of a building's delivery has blurred the distinction between the production of design intent and the transmission of information. One merger between concept and construction is due to the fact that BIM mediates between the two poles. The chapter explains how an industry application such as Autodesk ReCap is able to make 3D models from photos of construction machinery and equipment taken at the site. The convergence of work processes and tools such as BIM with the leveraging of available data in design and construction is not limited to the jobsite. Teaching activity further intensifies the understanding of how people would like to make use of technology and gives feedback on the design of user experience. Some of the technologies focus on the construction end of the spectrum, such as document management tools and reality capture technologies. Document management tools such as Autodesk BIM 360 can be thought of as convergence tools in that their main selling point is speed. More time building), achieved by leveraging real‐time or right‐time access to information in the cloud.
Book Chapter
DESIGN AND FABRICATION
This chapter discusses the reasons for design or fabrication convergence, with construction companies trying to do more with less look to design‐to‐fabrication workflows to speed up the construction process, for faster modeling and assembly. Firms are using building information model (BIM) to increase quality and reduce mistakes, pre‐manufacturing and delivering pre‐installed wall panels. Design‐to‐fabrication is not limited to three dimensions. Skylar Tibbits, Director of the Self‐Assembly Lab at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), focuses on what he calls 4D printing. His interest in 4D printing, where objects that are 4D printed have the capability to transform themselves over time, came about due to a frustration with the laborious construction process. Leveraging machine learning and computer vision, Stanford University researchers are making progress in automatically turning laser scanning point clouds into usable BIM files. The purpose of creating such an automated process is to create better buildings, and reduce the amount of repetitive work, freeing up designers to spend more time working creatively. Drones are changing construction for the better even as they raise questions concerning privacy and security. Drones are more accurate and can provide more variety in terms of types of modeling, including 3D modeling, contour line maps, 3D volumetric analysis, and progress forecasting models.
