Schematic design sets the trajectory for project viability, constructability, performance, and client alignment. Yet many architects begin this phase using either tools optimized for documentation rather than exploration (slowing iteration and constraining creative flow) or mass-modeling tools (which support creative flow but limit iteration and are disconnected from project viability).
This session will explore how to accelerate schematic design by adopting workflows purpose-built for rapid building generation, contextual modeling, and iterative refinement in Forma Building Design before transitioning into BIM development in Revit. Discover how to structure early-stage workflows that preserve design intent while increasing speed, flexibility, and team alignment.
Learning Objectives
- Learn how to accelerate your schematic design stage using new digital tools and to reduce rework in the design development stage of new projects while accounting for environmental analysis (e.g., daylight, sun hours, and total carbon).
