In this edition of the IntCDC Constructive Conversations, we are excited to present Dr. Al Fisher, Technical Director and Head of Computational Development, Buro Happold. In his lecture “Building and Habitats object Model: A common language for design and multi-representational computation” he will talk about the Building and Habitats object Model (BHoM), an open source collaborative computational development project for the built environment. It is a collaborative effort to share code and create a common language across the domains of engineering, architecture and construction, while unifying concepts of computational design, object-oriented programming, BIM and visual scripting.
A key aspect that will be discussed is the ability to create and link multiple analytical representations of any given design, facilitating design coordination where required, but also providing flexibility and customisation, which is essential in complex design workflows.
The BHoM has also been developed from the ground up with mass participation and diverse co-authorship in mind. This way of working, both in creation and use of tools, enables powerful transdisciplinary performance-based design to be achieved at scale.
Examples of applications across structural analysis, life cycle assessment analysis and environmental design will be shown.
Al Fisher is a global head Computational Development for Buro Happold. His academic background is in structural design computation with a masters and PhD in Civil and Architectural Engineering from the University of Bath. He joined Buro Happold in 2007. Since then, he has focused on performance driven design and optimisation, applying these principles to projects such as the Louvre Abu Dhabi and the London Olympic Stadium Transformation.
