It emphasizes the full impact that a data modeling tool has on design processes, systems, and the high level of collaboration required across the design team. It also explains the quantitative analysis opportunities that BIM affords for sustainable design and for balancing competing design agendas, while highlighting the benefits BIM offers to designing in 3D for construction. The book concludes with a deep look at the possible future of BIM and digitally-enhanced design.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough clear explanation of the processes involved and compelling case studies of design-oriented projects presented with full-color illustrations, \u003ci\u003eBIM for Design Firms: Data Rich Architecture at Small and Medium Scales \u003c\/i\u003eproves that the power of BIM is far more than an improved documentation and sharing environment.
