Illustrated
short text and digital publications. Our graphic narratives are
designed for working professionals (with little or no time to
read). They are illustrated with panelized screen shots of 3D
building information models (BIMs). The idea is to animate construction
on a printed page. Showing construction information as a series
of related events. The books break construction information into
chunks of sequential data and deliver it in a page format as part
of an interactive experience. It's this narrative and the inteaction
that tells the story.
For this
reason, each book includes an interactive CD with navigable 3D
building information models, short videos, 3D construction models,
and links to web resources. The purpose of the BIM models on these
CD's is to help readers experience the the way these structures
are actually built in the real world. The ability to walk through,
deconstruct and control the construction of a building information
model gives the reader a sense of scale and a feel for the challenges
inherent in real world construction.
These books
are our attempt to explore the potential of BIMs, graphic narratives,
and interactive learning for construction communications. If you
