topoBIM: A 3D Editor For Early Stage Architectural Design

Mark Meagher and Phil Langley

Following up on Yorik’s presentation, we see in topoBIM the development of a tool extending the capabilities of BIM to some graphical analytical methods to look at the ways that some future structure will be used, including the people flow and the workflow within. This information would then be used to guide the actual design to promote natural flow of people and work so that related rooms and areas easily communicate with one another.
