These programs allow you to create digital 3D models, but these models contain almost no information and are thus limited in their application. There is an in-between phase of more basic 3D modeling, where you can find computer programs like SketchUp, Rhino, and 3DS Max, somewhere along with the progression from CAD to BIM. In some ways, the transition to BIM is more difficult than the transition to CAD because it necessitates a significant change in the processes in place since hand drafting. It’s a shift from creating printed landscape drawings to creating and coordinating data within a digital landscape model. Many landscape architects are put off by the term BIM (Building Information Modeling) because it includes the word “building.” However, BIM is merely the next step in the AEC industry’s technological evolution. Furthermore, landscape architecture is not solely about aesthetics improving QoL (Quality of Life) and providing comfort are also among a landscape architect’s objectives.
Landscape architecture is a broad field that encompasses not only the architectural but also the scientific, artistic, and environmental aspects of creating, constructing, and studying various environments. That’s not even taking into account the cost of staffing when you consider how much time is spent working on multiple applications. It’s not uncommon for these companies to put together a concept using three or four different applications, which inevitably leads to multiple payments that add up over time. Landscape architecture firms are in a pickle if they cling to 2D tools like AutoCAD for information modeling.ĢD-focused companies must use separate software programs to properly incorporate 3D modeling with embedded data. When working with consultants who have matured their workflows with BIM, even if there is no BIM mandate, there is some inherent pressure to deliver BIM files. The most notable is the United Kingdom’s requirement for a BIM level 2 framework on all government-funded projects.
Technological advancements and competitive pressures have contributed to the noticeable shift away from 2D CAD in landscape architecture.
