The End is Where We Start From
Summary
Design does not end. While this could be understood as a criticism and concern of those in the construction industry, it also points to the reality that construction is every bit as creative an activity and process as design: that design continues well into the construction phase and beyond. The best designers design with the end in mind and the best constructors build with an eye on the start: where design direction is initiated and the DNA for the ensuing work takes place. This presentation explores the role of construction in design, design in construction and BIM’s impact on both.
