The integration of generative design (GD) and building information modelling (BIM), as a new technology consolidation, can facilitate the constructability of GD’s automatic design solutions, while improving BIM’s capability in the early design phase. Thus, there has been an increasing interest to study GD-BIM, with current focuses mainly on exploring applications and investigating tools. However, there are a lack of studies regarding methodological relationships and skill requirement based on different development objectives or GD properties; thus, the threshold of developing GD-BIM still seems high. This study conducts a critical review of current approaches for developing GD in BIM, and analyses methodological relationships, skill requirements, and improvement of GD-BIM development. Accordingly, novel perspectives of objective-oriented, GD component-based, and skill-driven GD-BIM development as well as reference guides are proposed. Finally, future research directions, challenges, and potential solutions are discussed. This research aims to guide designers in the building industry to properly determine approaches for developing GD-BIM and inspire researchers’ future studies.

“…Some examples found in the literature are: the modification of the central structure of a building for deformation control [16], cantilever beam optimization with 3D printing [17], the optimization of slab material [18], characteristics of the materials as a criterion for the design of a grid plan [19], and material optimization for reinforced concrete deep beams [20]. As observed, the systematization of the structural design is focused on specific subsystems that minimize the cost and weight of such elements; therefore, it is not common that this optimization is applied to the complete structural design of the building [15]. In addition, most of the studies focused on studying structural elements of buildings and infrastructure; however, no applications of generative design have been made to soil-retaining structures, such as retaining walls.…”

Generative Design for Dimensioning of Retaining Walls

The design of retaining walls follows a classic structure. The engineer proposes certain dimensions that will be modified until they comply with the regulatory and site restrictions presented by the project. This is an iterative process that can be optimized through a new method called generative design. The designer codes the characteristics and restrictions of the project so that the system creates the most appropriate solutions to the problem presented. In this research, a computer program was created to build the dimensions of retaining walls using generative design. For this purpose, Design Science Research (DSR) was used, complemented with the incremental software development method. A program that delivers multiple retaining wall design alternatives in a short time was constructed. The evaluation of this program was performed through usability tests, giving as main perceptions the program’s ease of use and the time savings concerning the traditional design.

The article analyzes of evaluation criteria for the construction variants of the Building Information Model (BIM). The article analyzes the evaluation criteria of the construction variants of the Building Information Modeling (BIM). Based on the different construction variants of the multistorey building information model, the most important criteria have been identified for the evaluation of BIM technologies in the construction project. A survey questionnaire was created and after interviewing 22 respondents the evaluations of BIM experts were collected. The obtained research data were analyzed with the help of the analytical pairwise comparison method in the hierarchy process. The significance of the criteria and the benefits of the application of BIM technologies were determined with the help of using iterations by the expert pairwise comparison method.
