Building Information Modeling: Framework for Structural Design introduces a structure and architecture synergy (SAS) framework that helps develop and enhance the understanding of the fundamental principles of architectural analysis using BIM tools. Based upon three main components: the structural melody, structural poetry, and structural analysis, along with the BIM tools as the frame enabler, this new framework allows users to explore structural design as an art while also factoring in the principles of engineering. The framework stresses the influence structure can play in form generation and in defining spatial order and composition. By highlighting the interplay between architecture and structure, the book emphasizes the conceptual behaviors of structural systems and their aesthetic implications and enables readers to thoroughly understand the art and science of whole structural system concepts.

Updated throughout and adds new exercises, cutting-edge information on the use of AI, robotics, and modelling, as well as issues of sustainability.
Presents the use of BIM technology as part of a design process or framework that can lead to a more comprehensive, intelligent, and integrated building design.
Places special emphasis on the application of BIM technology for exploring the intimate relationship between structural engineering and architectural design.
Includes a discussion of current and emerging trends in structural engineering practice and the role of the structural engineer in building design using new BIM technologies.

Dr. Nawari, (Ph.D., P.E., M.ASCE) has over 20 years of experience in design, teaching, and research specializing in building structures and building information modeling. Currently, he teaches graduate and undergraduate courses at the University of Florida. He has written and co-authored over 70 publications and three books. He is an active member of the U.S. National Building Information Modeling Standard Committee (NBIMS), BIM Committee of the Structural Engineering Institute (SEI), and co-chair of the subcommittee on BIM in education and many other professional societies. Dr. Nawari is also a board certified professional engineer in the states of Florida and Ohio. Michael W. Kuenstle, AIA, received his graduate architecture degree from Columbia University in New York City. He held a bachelor of architecture degree from the University of Houston. Kuenstle served as adjunct associate professor at the New York Institute of Technology from 1990 to 1993. He was a professor in the School of Architecture at the University of Florida since 1993 where he taught architecture design studio and advanced graduate structures courses. His building design projects received several AIA design awards and have been published and exhibited throughout North America. A licensed architect, he served as a member of the Board of Trustees to the Florida Foundation for Architecture.
