| Abstract |
This study examines the use of Building Information Modeling(BIM) in designing multifamily housing in Korea through comparative analysis
of project cases in the United States. Despite expectations that Korean architectural firms, specializing in multifamily housing, would widely
adopt BIM due to repetitive unit plans, this study revealed a preference for the 2D-3D conversion BIM design approach over the integrated
method. The objective is to analyze successful BIM-based multifamily housing projects in the U.S., where the integrated BIM design method
is prevalent. This research assessed design workforce management and BIM utilization goals in Korean architectural firms, comparing them to
U.S. counterparts. The findings indicated that small and medium-sized Korean firms are more proactive in adopting BIM for large-scale
projects. Additionally, the public sector in Korea opts for the 2D-3D conversion BIM design due to shorter initial design stages. This study
concluded that the current Korean BIM design method assigned more tasks unsuitable for BIM, hindering widespread adoption. It suggests
exploring U.S. BIM design utilization goals for advancements in BIM design in Korean architectural firms. |
