" Nothing big in the world
was done without passion. "
[Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel]
The passion in what we do is the first important guarantee of a good result, this because the pleasure and motivation in carrying out a project, in reaching a goal, in investing on our professionalism, are always greater than the effort made. You can notice immediately with how much passion a job is done! It can certainly be improved, but in itself it always has something that makes it appreciable, interesting, and unique. When the work is the result of enthusiasm, the people who have made such an effort transmit their dedication in that work. Sometimes we forget it, but basically, we Italians know it well; you can see it by visiting our beautiful country, in its villages, in its cuisine, in its crafts, in its monuments; Italians, as a rule, work with passion!
Designing and building a building is an operation, now more than ever, which has become complex and requires different skills (from architectural choices, to urban and regulatory constraints, to the sizing of structures, to the design of plants ....) which would be appropriate to be developed jointly from the first approach to the project. Differently, in general, in order to limit the initial costs of the design, only architectural choices and planning and regulatory constraints are dealt with first and only then, in most cases after having obtained the necessary authorizations, other professional figures are contacted, entrusting them with the task of designing the structures, facilities and anything else necessary. This means having to submit to the constraints of the approved project and, almost always, making changes, even substantial and often worsening, with consequent increase in costs and design time. An integrated approach, carried out within a single technical study, envisages designing the building organism in its complexity considering, from the beging, all the different issues related to architectural choices, regulatory constraints and bureaucratic practices, to sizing structural, plant design, green building choices and all the different aspects needed to create a complex building. The complete management of the entire design and construction or building recovery phase, entrusted to a single study, allows the client to have a single professional figure of reference. Also from this important aspect, derives the lowest final cost of an integrated design, as well as a greater clarity during the whole process of realization.
The National Institutes of Building Science defines it as the "digital representation of physical characteristics and functional of an object "and in a more specific meaning of a building. BIM can not therefore be considered a product, a technology or even a software application, but a process within which to organize and share all the information related to the object to be implemented. BIM was created to meet the need for greater collaboration among designers, resulting in an instrument of effective interoperability and interaction between the different figures operating around a project. In this sense we speak of BIM as a collaborative design method, precisely because it is a "system" which allows to integrate in a single three-dimensional model, loading or modifying the peculiar information of every component of the building in every phase of the design, from the architectural to the structural one, from that plant to the energy one to get to understand that of the management matrix too. In other words, the innovation that BIM brings as a dowry lies in its intrinsic capacity to guarantee the validity of the data entered in the artefact at each moment of its life cycle, enabling a path of integrated realization of the previously impossible job.
