Description
Summary:Arup is known worldwide for being at the cutting edge of engineering and design development in the built environment. Building information modelling is at the heart of all the firm's projects. As Arup team members Ken Goldup, Zak Kostura, Tabitha Tavolaro and Seth Wolfe explain, flexibility is particularly important when establishing a workflow for those that involve complex programmes or irregular geometries: being able to transfer data between platforms can be crucial to optimising the design. Their argument is illustrated by two recent Arup projects in the United States: an airport terminal and a Manhattan subway transit hub.
