Abstract

Nowadays, building activities are expanding quickly, and the requirements in the design and construction sectors are developing. Devoted to these requirements, programs based on building information modeling (BIM) are employed to create digital representations of the physical and functional characteristics of spaces and to manage project processes. BIM-based programs enable the creation of computational and parametric designs while also enabling the simultaneous fabrication of the project. Thanks to these programs, the project management process keeps moving forward quickly while the construction process is not negatively impacted by the design-related modification. However, since they can allow interdisciplinary work and cooperation, BIM-based programs are regarded beneficial. Diverse professional groups are simultaneously active in the design projection stages, encouraging the use of a common language and working as a community, ensuring a coordinated effort. It can be stated that BIM-based programs were not immediately introduced into the building sector with all these beneficial aspects and underwent a development and change process like how all computer-based programs go through in their development phase. This chapter covers the latest scholarly developments in the BIM-based programs used for structural and architectural purposes.
